Hi,

It seems Tomcat does not support SSL through the JNDIRealm that is implemented with Catalina.

A while ago, I was looking for a solution to this, and stumbled across the Cougaar security work. They seem to have provided a SecureJNDIRealm implementation that is compatible with the existing JNDIRealm, easy to implement in server.xml and agreeable with the Apache/Tomcat license.

http://cougaar.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/securityservices/src/org/cougaar/core/security/crypto/ldap/?cvsroot=securitycore

The required classes are SecureJNDIRealm and JNDISSLFactory

It appears to have been implemented for Tomcat 4, but I have it running successfully without modification (that I recall) on Tomcat 5.5.12 since before December 2005.

It would be a nice boon if Tomcat integrated this functionality. Clear-text simple bind to LDAP is garbage, and running an stunnel to hack around it is... to put it simply, lame.

Thanks, from a happy user.
