What about single sign-on for web applications and PHP?

Does tomcat delegate credentials back to Apache so Apache would not authenticate again?

Thanks

If you use
        Form-based authentication (login page) then tomcat needs to do it...

Ask tomcat .... Because if sometime you change the webserver ( in the worst
case ) then you don't need to change anything :)

Tomcat has good support for OpenLdap ... ( I have been using it for > 1 year
)

Hi,

I need to setup the following system:

   - Tomcat 5.5.9
   - Apache 2 (using mod_jk)
   - Redhat 7.3
   - User authentication against Ldap (using OpenLdap)
   - Single sign-on (e.g. if the user is authenticated for entering a web
application he will not have to authenticate again when browsing a PHP
page)
   - Form-based authentication (login page)

I still need to figure out the following:

   - Should Tomcat or Apache do ldap authentication ?
- How are credentials passed between Tomcat and Apache (to ensure single
sign-on) ?

Your help is appreciated.
