>> connectionPassword) are not specified the connection is anonymous. This is
>> sufficient in many cases." What I run in to is that when Tomcat tries the
>> initial connection it fails. I then cannot connect and bind with the user
>> name and password supplied by the form. Does anyone know of a way to force
