I don't know of a documented method for connecting to other approaches (e.g. local files (/etc/password + /etc/shadow, NIS, etc). In some cases it *might* be possible to use the JAAS realm with a suitable security provider, or you could write your own Tomcat realm. Using local files is likely to be difficult because Tomcat should not be run as root for security reasons, yet you need to be root to access /etc/shadow.

Hi
Is there any way that tomcat can hook into the solaris user names and
passwords rather than creating a new database with
passwords and usernames i.e in a way which weblogic can use NT
authentication ?
Please let me know.
Many Thanks
