Hi,
I've been struggling with getting Tomcat to authenticate against my LDAP
server for a couple of days now. I think I am finally starting to make some
headway. I am able to sucessfully authenticate users if I use cleartext
passwords in the directory. So now, the next thing is if I want to use MD5
or SHA passwords.
I am trying to authenticate against my list of Linux users that already
exist in the directory. I do not want to create/manage a seperate list of
users for my application.
My problem is the way the JNDIRealm checks passwords doesn't seem to
coreleate against the data that is stored in my directory.
Currently, my userPassword is stored as: userPassword:
{crypt}$1$AfBOPVqJ$GWlhLtmollCN9Namo9fmn0 As you can see this is not in Hex
format, and is prefixed by {crypt}; both causing problems with JNDIRealm.
My question therefore is the following: is there another class that I can
use instead of JNDIRealm to authenticate against Linux passwords, or does
anyone know if there is another way to configure Linux to store passwords in
a manner that is consistent with Tomcat's JNDIRealm?
Thanks for any insight that anyone can provide.
Eric
