Hi,

I am using tomcat 5.5.26 and JNDIRealm for validating user from LDAP. It works fine but every morning when I try to login LDAP authentication fails until I restart server. It used to work with Tomcat 4.1 since I upgraded to 5.5 I need to restart every morning to refresh the LDAP connection. I would appreciate any thoughts thanks in advance.

LDAP Configration
=================

<Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.JNDIRealm"connectionName="CN=XX,OU=XX,OU=XX,DC=XX,dc=XX,DC=com"
connectionPassword="xxxx"
connectionURL="ldap://xxxx.xxx.com:389"
debug="99"
referrals="follow"
roleBase="OU=HQ,DC=XX,DC=XX,DC=com"
roleName="cn" roleSearch="member={0}"
roleSubtree="true"
userBase="OU=HQ,DC=XXXX,DC=XXX,DC=com"
userRoleName="member"
userSearch="cn={0}" userSubtree="true"/>


Exception Every Morning When try to login
=========================================

I got it solved, LDAP configration was placed in the server.xml file. I moved it to context.xml file. It fixed the issue.
