As Tim said, JNDIRealm does not have the ability to do that...So you will have to write a custom code (after you authenticate and get into the 'admin area' ) to make a connection to your realm and retrieve the list of users. However, Current JNDIRealm does not support ldap with SSL and it's not a good idea to use simple authentication on production. I have raised this issue on discussion threads in the past, but never seem to get an answer from anybody. There is an option available to use "native java/ldap implementation of a realm module for the tomcat server" developed by tony dahbura [http://www.dahbura.com/ldap/] and it supports Realm Authentication via SSL. I would like to know what is the status of development on JNDIRealm and how close it is to achieving the goal of authentication via SSL!
