Hi all,
I'm fairly new to Tomcat and to this mailing list, so apologies in
advance if not being clear in explaining my problem.
I'm tasked with the implementation of JAAS for a web application by
leveraging the existing LDAP server (MSAD) present at our company.
The first problem I faced was due to the fact that the bundled
LDAPplugin doesn't support authentication so I needed a enhanced one.
I read that the Geronimo's LDAPLoginModule can be of help and I
decided to follow that path.
- I downloaded the Geronimo's zip file, [1]
- I extracted the LDAPplugin jar file [2] and copied inside Tomcat's
lib directory
- I configured the jaas.config file [3] and configured it in the
Tomcat startup command line [4]
- I modified the server.xml by defining the Realm [5]
- I modified my test application by requiring BASIC authentication for
the dummy protected resource [6]
I know that the jaas.config file comes read because at first I had
syntax problems reported in catalina.err and now fixed.
Now I can access the application by having a popup asking me to bind,
BUT the application doesn't permit me to access (it asks me to
authenticate again).
With tcpdump I can see that the tcp connection to the LDAP server is
not even tried
However, I can't see any error in catalina.out or catalina.err.
Could you tell me if, in your opinion, I have done something wrong?
What would you suggest to do in order to at least augment the
possibility to see the error logged?
Thanks in advance
Marco
