Jim/All, I looked at the single sign on option and added the valve entry for my virtual host:
<valve className="org.apache.catalina.authenticator.SingleSignOn" debug="0"/> That is the only step I know how to do. I looked at the documentation on the single sign on option on the jakarta site but haven't been able to find a meatier explanation on how to utilize it. Can anyone point me to any good documentation/examples on how to configure/utilize the single sign on feature of tomcat?
