Marc--
The latest beta 4 release of Tomcat 4 ("Catalina") includes a JNDI "realm" that can
access user and role info in an LDAP database. (I haven't tried this out myself,
but that's what it says in the Tomcat listserv traffic.)
So far there's no JNDI realm for the latest production release of Tomcat (3.2, I
believe).
