I'm pretty sure that it currently doesn't work, but, likely will in the
hopefully near future. There are two different modes of authentication. One
queries for the user password and then compares it (on the Tomcat side of
things). This is the mode that is currently supported. The other mode
attempts to bind as the user to authenticate. This mode, to my knowledge
isn't yet supported. It's in the specs though, and I know that they're
planning on implementing it. In Active Directory, the password field isn't
queryable and that's why it won't work. Unless, you store the passwords
redundantly in another attribute.
