Hello everyone, Can somebody enlight me on the faisability of this in tomcat configuration
- Have user list and user password checked against a JNDI Realm (this is a nis mapped jndi realm) - Have user roles checked against another Realm (eg: database realm) Why this strange thing? We have a list of user/password/group exported as NIS yellow pages. We want to use this list as this is the passwords users are using to check their email and so we know each user already has a password. However, our J2EE application uses a lot of roles, but access to unix groups we have is readonly. If i want to add a user to a role , or create a new role, i have to go thru a lengthly process of asking one of the unix admin to create them and as those group are used a lot thru several server, he has to chekc the implcation of adding such groups. This is quite cumbersome when one day we need to create 7 roles and put about 15 users in each. Anyway, creating lots of new groups on our unix server is not a possiblity so me need to store them somewhere else while still getting user list / password from unix/nis.
