Hi Bert, Others, I hope, will chime in on this thread and let you know what precise solutions they have adopted. But, in general, the solution you use will depend on the environment you intend to run in. As you point out, JAAS authentication is an option, should you be able to find an appropriate JAAS plugin that does what you want. If you want to do things via the Apache web server, I'd look at mod-auth-kerb rather than mod-authz. Others, no doubt, have less generic suggestions.
