Single Sign-On on Spring Application

Question

I'm working on a web application under Tomcat on a Linux server and all clients are under a windows domain. I need to get the user account from the request to assign it the right role on my application. So to summarize I just need to retrieve the user account becasue the authentication is not required.

What could be the more easy framework or solution to do that? Jaas could be the solution?

Could you help me, please?

thanks,
Andrea

Have you checked out Spring-Security?

Spring Security supports Single Sign On options using Kerberos, JNDI/LDAP, Active Directory, OAuth, OpenID, etc.

Integrate Single Sign On using Spring Security

Try the Apache Shiro project, former JSecurity.
