Now you have to turn on security in Tomcat. If you want to talk to the AD for this purpose, well, lots of luck. You will need a custom realm or to implement this by hand in your servlets.
Once you have security enabled at all, the browser (on Linux or wherever) will pop up a 'basic auth' dialog, and the user can type in a domain-qualified name. Unless you want to use forms authentication, for which there are some packages that someone else can help you with. -----Original Message----- From: Aris Javier [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 08, 2004 12:10 AM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: Help: Windows Server on Linux Client Thanks! I've got Tomcat to work on port 80 with IIS service disabled! The problem now is request.getRemoteUser() returns NULL? Before, when I'm integrating it with IIS, request.getRemoteUser() returns the login name of the user... I need to get the user's domain login name... afterwhich, I will use that login name to verify in Active Directory if he/she exists... you mentioned a login box appears when I hit a site with security...? how to make my site secured then? So sorry to cause you too much trouble.. im the only java programmer here.. =| Thanks again! aris -----Original Message----- From: Parsons Technical Services [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 08, 2004 12:34 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: Help: Windows Server on Linux Client 1. Is IIS shutdown (Stop the service and disable it)? 2. Is Tomcat up and running? 3. http://localhost returns what? If you get the default start page there is a link to the manager. As for the login Benson is speaking of the authentication (login) box that appears when you hit a site with security.

Tomcat's HTTP connector is configured in server.xml. By default, Tomcat ships with the port number set to 8080 so you can test without interfering with any HTTP server you might already have installed. Once you're ready to put Tomcat in production, change the 8080 in server.xml to 80. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
