J2EE 1.4 SDK (which contains Tomcat 5) uses the Single Sign on feature 
and it is working fine. So just add the SingleSignOn valve in your 
server.xml.

Hi,

I was asking about this subject on this list a while back  
	
http://www.mail-archive.com/tomcat-user%40jakarta.apache.org/msg111700.h

but I've not managed to get it working yet.

In short.  I'm working on an intranet application and I want
my users to only have to log in once.  If they start a new 
browser session it should pick up their details and not ask
them to log in.

I expect the username/password should live in a persistent cookie,
and I've been using FORM based authentication on Tomcat 4.1.23.
I've spent days faffing about with redirects from servlets to 
"j_security_check" (which has never worked for me) and filters
on "/" etc. etc. etc.

I came back to this today and played with Single Sign-on and 
Persistent sessions in the hope that might do it.



Does anyone out there have this working?  



Best regards
Chris

Thanks.

I should have mentioned that I am running Tomcat 4.1.24 with
jdk1.3.0_02.

I did want to make use of the Tomcat features for authentication
(i.e. FROM method, Realm using user/roles DB tables, web.xml
configuration
etc.) to replace existing code that I wrote for the task.  I'm losing
the
will to do this now though.

Anyone done it with this set up?
