Hi

I am using the following

Tomcat: 4.1.27-LE-jdk14
Apache: 2.0.47
Java : 1.4.2
Linux OS: 7.3
iPlanet LDAP Server

I am trying to configure LDAP authentication mechanism to my application.

1) In this regard i have downloaded the latest JNDI API and then copied the ldap.jar file to $CATALINA_HOME/server/lib directory.

2) The i have added the following entry to the server.xml file.

    <Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.JNDIRealm"
         connectionURL="ldap://ldap.mycompany.com:389"
         userBase="ou=active,ou=employees,ou=people,o=mycompany.com"
         userSearch="(uid={0})"
         roleSearch="(uniqueMember={0})"
         roleName="cn"
         debug="99"
         contextFactory="com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory"
         />

3) In my application "web.xml" file i have added the following

 <security-constraint>
  <web-resource-collection>
   <web-resource-name>Nrt</web-resource-name>
   <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
  </web-resource-collection>
  <auth-constraint>
   <role-name>*</role-name>
  </auth-constraint>
  </security-constraint>
  <login-config>
  <auth-method>BASIC</auth-method>
  <realm-name>CEC</realm-name>
  </login-config>

Then i have restarted the tomcat and apache. I get the prompt for userid and password, but when i provide the correct userid/password i get an message saying incorrect userid and password, i think i am missing something in the configuration and tomcat is not talking with LDAP, was wondering if you can provide some inputs on this.

Appreciate your help and time.

Thanks
