I have followed the howto on http://tomcat.apache.org to get tomcat to authenticate via Kerberos to AD. I have a sniffer running on the network and don't see any attempts from the tomcat server to talk to AD. I have looked at the logs and the only one I see any activity in is the local_access_log which doesn't show me anything that relates to login activity.
I had secure ldap working so I know that the two servers can talk to each other. I see what I would interpret as normal AD chatter going between the servers but nothing occurs at the time when I am attempting to login on the tomcat server. No activity is showing up in the tomcat7 stdout and stderr files. This is my first time working with Tomcat at this level and there is no one at my company that I reach out to for help. One thing that I am doing that I would hope isn't a problem is that instead of using the fqdn of the servers is using the ip address of the server. I was told to get this working with just IP address so it can continue to work if DNS is down or unresponsive for some reason. I can post what I have put in the config files mentioned in the howto but didn't at this point out of respect for others on the listserv to help reduce the noise/clutter. Ron
