authenticating against NT domain controller using Java

[AdamRice32]

Hi All,

Anyone have experience using JAAS to authenticate against an NT Domain controller? I've checked out the API docs and such, but haven't been able to piece together a simple solution... something like how linar's jintegra works is what I'm looking to do. That is, pass a domain controller name, username, and password, and get back a boolean as to whether or not the username/password is valid for the given domain.

Thoughts/suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
Adam Rice

Did you ever find a solution to this ? I need to do exactly the same thing. My current thoughts are looking at the API's of the container i'm using (Oracle's Orion OC4J), if not i have a VB DLL that does what i want so use some C to wrap it then use JNI.

Found this example of how someone did it using JNI to wrap a C program to authenticate...

Or if you're using the Weblogic server you have it easy...

Or maybe you're more into JAAS...

This is a great work through, i'm giving this a go at the moment. Good intro to using JNI as well..
