[opencms-dev] Information : Authentication through NT domain ...

[Apostoly Guillaume]

Hi all,
 
My current goal is to allow OpenCMS authentication through NT Server. I've
got no LDAP server so this could mean use NTLM.
I'm on a linux gentoo with apache and tomcat (currently standalone, i've got
to change that).
I'm currently trying to use mod_ntlm ( http://modntlm.sourceforge.net/
<http://modntlm.sourceforge.net/>  ) with apache. After that, i'll configure
Tomcat to work with apache (with mod_xxxxx), and i'll get the apache logged
in user through "request.getRemoteUser()" as describe here :
http://www.jguru.com/faq/view.jsp?EID=1045412
<http://www.jguru.com/faq/view.jsp?EID=1045412>  .
After that point, i'll need someone that knows well the authentication
system from opencms to allow this : 
 
I'd like opencms to rely on the "request.getRemoteUser()" to know who is
logged in (the username), but to still use it's own system for the
permissions. This means creating the user in the opencms database, allowing
them to work on project, etc, but relying on NTLM authentication from apache
for the login.
 
Has anybody progressed in that direction ?
Am I completly (tick the right answer) : - wrong - nuts - dumb ?
 
Thanks by advance,
 
Regards,
 
Guillaume.
