I do some search today and debugged TC 6.0.x trunk from my eclipse.
Authentification works great and the only remaining problem it so
setup roles in AD for users.
I used :
<Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.JNDIRealm"
connectionURL="ldap://ldap.mycorp.com:389";
alternateURL="ldap://ldap.mycorp.com:389";
connectionName="cn=someldapaccounttobind,ou=MyCorp
Users,dc=mycorp,dc=com"
connectionPassword="someldapaccounttobindpassword"
userBase="ou=MyCorp Users,dc=mycorp,dc=com"
userSearch="(sAMAccountName={0})"
userSubtree="true"
referrals="follow"
userRoleName="memberOf"
debug="true"
/>
