Microsoft Active Directory and Java

[Raj Puri]

My company is implementing Microsoft Active directory and I have a table in Oracle that has all users names[Matching names appearing in Microsoft Active Directory]. Is there a java call that can be used to extract Microsoft Active directory name from windows of the user running the application - if so I can match that against this table to allow access to application. I am looking at different options of doing simple things like above so that we can do single sign off to this JSP application.


Any one with experience with this kind of experience. We run Oracle 9i on UNIX and host web server on UNIX.
