If you use LDAP you can use LDAP with PAM and apparently configure Tomcat to talk to LDAP as well http://blog.mc-thias.org/?title=tomcat_ldap_authentication&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1 "Using Tomcat6 (Tomcat 6.0.13 to be precise ;)) on CentOS 4.5, a LDAP authentication can be set up using the JNDI Realm."[..] http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/realm-howto.html#JNDIRealm Same for if your using a SQL DB for authentication, tomcat can tie into that too - http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/realm-howto.html#JDBCRealm nate _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
