How do I setup authentication with LDAP on Apache Tomcat?

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • I'm trying to implement security in Tomcat, using the documentation Realm How-To JNDIRealm

  • I tried to use the same configuration as defined in the Tomcat URL for configuring the LDAP, but once the LDAP is configured I created a realm like:

<Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.JNDIRealm" name="jndibase"
     connectionURL="ldap://ipa.bne.redhat.com:389"
     userPattern="cn=users,cn=accounts,dc=bne,dc=redhat,dc=com"
     roleBase="cn=roles,cn=accounts,dc=bne,dc=redhat,dc=com"
     roleName="cn"
     roleSearch="(member={0})"/>
