IIS -> connector -> Tomcat (NTLM authentication)

Question

Hi All,

I wanted to get feedback on a potential setup and wanted to make sure it would likely work before embarking on this path.

I want to use IIS in from of Tomcat to do NTLM authentication. There is a Web service running in tomcat that would get requests get forwarded to it by IIS.

This service requires knowledge of the remote NT user calling the service.

My question is that is this information passed along from IIS? If so, in what form is it passed. Is it passed in the HTTP header or something?

Thanks

You can use Waffle to do NTLM with Tomcat and avoid IIS altogether.
