JNDIRealm works by retrieving the password from the directory server and comparing it explicitly with the value given by the user. Unfortunately AFAIK this mode of operation will not work with eDirectory.
There have been proposals (e.g. from me) to enhance JNDIRealm to allow it to authenticate the user by binding to the directory server, in the same way as auth_ldap. This should work with eDirectory, but isn't available yet. John. At 12:55 28/01/02, you wrote: >Hi! > >We are going to upgrade to Tomcat and are investigating how to implement >user authentication.
