Can I use LDAP for AUthentication. Yes - via JNDIRealm.
Can I perform authentication via an HTML FORM? Yes, via a security constraint in web.xml with the type being FORM instead of BASIC. Helping you out furthur via the mailing list with respect to the second question will involve MANY emails. I recommend google, or a (good) servlet/jsp book to get more information about FORM authentication.
Using FORM authentication and JNDIRealm will keep all security constraints generic to the spec. Thats a good thing.

Hi all,
I'd like to authenticate users on a LDAP tree (using something like the JNDIRealm) that's OK
But I'd like not to have the post 401 browser POPup window but a custom form (with links for retrieving its password & some other
gadgets)
I guess that this is not a very uncommon thing ?
So i wondered about setting up a filter ,getting the Authentication header & comparing it with the values BASIC ... (constants exist)
Is it the classic way for such job ?
any other clue welcomed
