I configured a LDAP realm for tomcat 7. It searches for someone in the group users, once found will authenticate them and allow them to access the application.
This is my realm:
<Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.JNDIRealm"
connectionURL="ldap://adldap.mycompany.com:3268"
userSearch="(sAMAccountName={0})"
userSubtree="true"
userBase="DC=mycompany,DC=com"
roleSubtree="true"
roleName="CN"
userRoleName="memberOf"/>
It finds the user then searches for the corresponding role-names. This is my security constraints with roles in the web.xml.
<security-constraint>
<display-name>user</display-name>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>user</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
<http-method>GET</http-method>
<http-method>PUT</http-method>
<http-method>HEAD</http-method>
<http-method>TRACE</http-method>
<http-method>POST</http-method>
<http-method>DELETE</http-method>
<http-method>OPTIONS</http-method>
</web-resource-collection>
<auth-constraint>
<description>users</description>
<role-name>user</role-name>
</auth-constraint>
</security-constraint>
<login-config>
<auth-method>BASIC</auth-method>
</login-config>
<security-role>
<role-name>user</role-name>
</security-role>
But the user will have roles that look like CN=Domain Users,CN=Users,DC=mycompany,DC=com
. So my question is, is there a way I can map that role to the role-name of user? Otherwise I need to define my security constraints as such:
<security-constraint>
<display-name>user</display-name>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>user</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
<http-method>GET</http-method>
<http-method>PUT</http-method>
<http-method>HEAD</http-method>
<http-method>TRACE</http-method>
<http-method>POST</http-method>
<http-method>DELETE</http-method>
<http-method>OPTIONS</http-method>
</web-resource-collection>
<auth-constraint>
<description>users</description>
<role-name>CN=Domain Users,CN=Users,DC=mycompany,DC=com</role-name>
</auth-constraint>
</security-constraint>
<login-config>
<auth-method>BASIC</auth-method>
</login-config>
<security-role>
<role-name>CN=Domain Users,CN=Users,DC=mycompany,DC=com</role-name>
</security-role>
map that role to the role-name of user?
This should (I could not test it) pull the attribute (sAMAccountName) from the user entry that is authenticated.
