Thanks, you're right. I tried this earlier, but it didn't work because I hadn't provided the complete LDAP role name. It needs to match exactly what the role name is in the context.xml file.

This solution doesn't depend on which realm you are using in your server. ND -----Original Message----- From: PHIL CAVAZOS [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 18, 2005 3:54 PM To: users@tomcat.apache.org Subject: Grabbing JNDIRealm Authentication Roles Does anyone know how to grab user roles from the JNDIRealm authentication classes once a user logs in to a servlet context? I'm attempting to dynamically present content based on the user roles the user authenticates with. Another way to put my question is if there is a way to grab the LDAP authentication instance and make use of it to read the user roles without having to create a new LDAP instance?
