How to configure Tomcat to use Windows NTLM authentication?
active-directory, authentication, tomcat
Solution
Yes it is. The Tomcat Wiki references a documentation about Samba code that enables Tomcat to do NTLM authentication.
The Samba community implemented a Servlet filter that allows to athenticate users agains a domain controller.
Problem
I would like to use NTLM authentication with Tomcat so that Iexplorer send automatically both the user id+pwd to webapp. Is this possible? With "BASIC" authentication IE pops up the usual pwd dialog but I want to skip this dialog. ( Note, I use JNDIReal/ldap)
