Thanks, you're right. I tried this earlier, but it didn't work because I =
hadn't provided the complete LDAP role name. It needs to match exactly =
what the role name is in the context.xml file.=20

I think the standard way for including role in your programming logic
(e.g. if user is of role manager, dispatch the manager.jsp; if user is
an employee, dispatch the employee.jsp, etc), is to use the isUserInRole
method of HttpServletRequest.  This solution doesn't depend on which
realm you are using in your server.

Subject: Grabbing JNDIRealm Authentication Roles

Does anyone know how to grab user roles from the JNDIRealm
authentication classes once a user logs in to a servlet context? I'm
attempting to dynamically present content based on the user roles the
user authenticates with. Another way to put my question is if there is a
way to grab the LDAP authentication instance and make use of it to read
the user roles without having to create a new LDAP instance?

Thanks,
Phil
