Hello,

I had the same problem, but I never managed to get the LDAP login module at 
work. In theory, you can use this JAAS module to check user authentication 
and get user roles from the LDAP server with a very few code. JNDI login 
module is very poorly documented...

By now, the following code works for what I have to do, event if it is not 
very elegant :

     String buf = "alias=zorglub,ou=employee,o=XXX,c=AN";
     Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
     out.println("String: "+buf);
     env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,"com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory");
     env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "ldap://ldap.xxx.com:389/o=xxx,c=an");
     env.put(Context.SECURITY_AUTHENTICATION, "simple");
     env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, buf.toString());
//    env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, "toto");

     try{
       DirContext ctx = new InitialDirContext(env);
       out.println("Authenticated");
     }
     catch (NamingException ae) {
       out.println("Not Authenticated");
     }

Regards,

Francis Pallini
