Hi,
I am trying to get my AIX box configured to use Windows Authentication from the
tomcat server (web browser). I have been relying on the example that is at
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/windows-auth-howto.html#Tomcat_instance.
Here is my question. The example is using all windows and not unix, so I am
not 100% sure on my syntax AND I have two domains I am working with. One for
the tomcat server and one for the windows domain controller. The example shows
them all on the same domain and I have tried a few different configurations and
they haven't worked. So I am hoping to get an answer here.
I am not sure, but I believe, that the SPNEGO authentication which is included in Tomcat
right now presupposes that the Tomcat host itself is a Windows machine, and member of the
Windows domain in which you want the authentication to take place (or probably at least a
trusted domain).
If that were the case, then you may be better off having a look at the other alternatives
indicated in that documentation page, or at Jespa (www.ioplex.com) which is a commercial
(but affordable) solution which works with whatever OS Tomcat is running under.
I can't figure out from the Waffle website if Waffle works on other than on Windows Tomcat
hosts either.
