I need to authenticate user against MS active directory in my servlet application. Has anyone done this? Can you point me to some resources?
Thanks!

I think AD supports LDAP, which can be used from Java via the JNDI API. Your servlet container may have provisions for doing that automatically for authenticating users, e.g. Tomcat has the JNDIRealm.

http://wiki.java.net/bin/view/Javapedia/ActiveDirectory has a lot of information about using AD from Java.

Thanks for the link!
I will take a look.

 
I agree. Here's the link: http://ej-technologies/jprofiler - if it wasn't for jprofiler, we would need to run our stuff on 16 servers instead of 3.
