Re: Servlet authentication on Tomcat 5.5.7



The Sun JDK provides a JAAS module for authentication against an NT machine
(com.sun.security.auth.module.NTLoginModule). With this JAAS login module
you can use the JAASRealm and a JAAS security configuration to authenticate
against user database of the NT machine on which the web server runs.
