The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is one of those standards that, like XML, has taken the industry by storm . It seems like every product or platform that needs to perform user authentication or directory management has integrated LDAP support in some form ”and it's a near certainty that the code you write will need to do so, too.

In this chapter, you'll learn how the LDAP protocol can be interfaced with Tomcat using the Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI).
