Have you arranged for that kind -of thing? - -chris Yes I have to a point. We have HP support and mostly it is in India and we don't direct access with them. I opened a ticket but they are requesting that I tell them exactly how to do it. I am working with them on that. They are waiting for me to test from my AIX environment to iron out all those pieces. I know they need to configure my server into their environment and maybe it will require a special user account. If you have info on that that would be good. Could you tell me which modules / libraries I need to download and install for tomcat to authenticate against the windows environment and how to tweak them? I am ready to dig into this.
