JNDI has a naming API that allows Java applications to access naming systems
like CORBA's Naming services and a directory API that extends the naming
service to provide access to directory services like LDAP. You can take a
look at Tomcat's JNDIRealm.
There is also a recently submitted proposal for a LDAPRealm implementation
in Tomcat 4.0.

Subject: LDAP / TOMCAT / AUTHENTICATION
> I've build a site where based on the user's role he will see a different
> look. I used the standard authentication meganism that's defined in the
> Servlet API. Tomcat has a tomcat-users.xml file where you define the users
> id, passwords and their roles. I found an article how I can use a database
> where I can put this information in. In the server.xml file of tomcat I
then
> can define that I want to use a database for authentication.
>
> My Question:
>
> I don't want to put userid / password into a database, instead I want
Tomcat
> to use our LDAP server in order to authenticate users. Where can I find
> information about this?
