Hi, I have a java Spring-Struts web application called SchoolManagement. Client would like to login by authenticating against active directory. Once logged in, there will be a link to another application called TuitionManagement. That application also uses active directory to log in. However, client wants TuitionManagement to already be logged in b/c user already logged in to SchoolManagement. I'm a intermediate programmer and have very basic knowledge of Active Directory, I have 2 questions:
1. Are there instructions to login by authenticating against active directory ?
2. That application also uses active directory to log in but in this case, will not need to b/c user already logged in. How can I pass credentials securely to TuitionManagement app ?
You could use a third party software like J-Integra to access Active Directory from Java. J-Integra provides a Java API that allows you to access Active Directory like create new users, manage passwords, etc. Here's a sample code:
Hi MicheleMarcon, thank you for your response, I am looking into this product. However, I was actually looking to build some middleware from the ground up. Is there a good tutorial for me to do that? I am looking at some links, but I'd appreciate everything you can do for me.
