Connection with Tomcat - passes service acct, not IIS session acct

  • We have a Adobe Flex app that uses Tomcat to connect to SQL Server 2008. SQL is set to integrated security. Tomcat appears to only pass the credentials that it is running under (the service account) to SQL Server. Does anyone know how to configure Tomcat to pass the AD credentials (gleaned from IIS) of the person that is logged in instead of the service account?

  • You request is very interesting and I think you may need some SAML package to get IIS to pass your security token to Tomcat, you could create Asp.net application and use AD provider but I am not sure if IIS can pass the token to Tomcat but it uses LDAP so you could just write code to do that. You could also ask if your employer have implemented any single sign on those are the packages that uses Token servers to propagate the security token from one hop to the other. And I think most vendors don't pay for the relevant math so your web application code may break. But I could be wrong.

    Kind regards,
