Hi Viral,

Thanks for such a wonderful site.
I tried to implement this, but i had no success.
The authentication window pops up but when i give uid and pwd it doesnot take it.
After 3 attempts i get 404 error.

1. I updated server.xml
2.Update web.xml
3 .Added jars to commons/lib directory too.

Thanks,
Naveen.

Hi,

One question: what should be the LDAP “structure” for the logins to succeed?

I mean, how can I tell what DN to use, how to find users, and where are the roles defined in LDAP?

I can have for example a DN like this:
uid=jack, ou=people, dc=example, dc=com

So the user will have attributes in LDAP, the password for example, and the roles … where in LDAP will I define user roles so that JBoss will pick them from the correct attribute?

Thanks

You can use request.getRemoteUser() instead.

So interesting! I couldn’t even guess it might be so exciting!
