Current JNDIRealm does not support ldap with SSL and it's not a good idea to use simple authentication on production. I have raised this issue on discussion threads in the past, but never seem to get an answer from anybody, probably because genral users were not really familiar with the issue and I was asking the question at the wrong forum.
There is an option available to use "native java/ldap implementation of a realm module for the tomcat server" developed by tony dahbura [http://www.dahbura.com/ldap/] and it supports Realm Authentication via SSL. This is what I have been using so far. I would like to know what is the status of development on JNDIRealm and how close the Developers are to achieving the goal of authentication via SSL! --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
