I've gotten a JndiRealm working with Tomcat to authenticate users from our

You'll need to connect to LDAP via JNDI to get the other user attributes.
JNDIRealm only knows how to authenticate and authorize, not user information
retrieval.
To get the user name - request.getRemoteUser() or request.getUserPrincipal()
should give you enough information to perform your ldap
OK, thanks. I was reaching that conclusion. Thanks for the confirmation.
