Thank you for clearing that up. I will take a look at that document. I have made a connection to the Active Directory, but am not able to authenticate users yet, probably since I don't know details about how user or members and their corresponding role information is store in our Directory Server. I will need to contact the tech guys for that. In Microsoft Active Directory terms, where is this information stored? and what is called? so I can ask the right questions.

It is a service provided by a server, not a server. An LDAP server is a server that provides LDAP services... The Microsft AD service is LDAP-compatible. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/techinfo/overview/ldapcomp.mspx Ross -----Original Message----- From: Kal Govindu [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 01, 2004 1:51 PM To: Tomcat Users List (E-mail) Subject: LDAP - newbee help Hello all, I am trying to setup tomcat 5 to authenticate against Microsoft Directory Server through LDAP. I have found a very detailed document for tomcat 5 and JNDI realm. One question before I go any further: Is LDAP server a server that needs to be started separately from directory server? If so, where can I get that?
