apex and transparent ntlm authentication
Hello,
we have apex 4.1 running on RHEL5.5, fronted by OHS. We have an application that uses Windows AD as authentication mechanism (just an LDAP variant, really) and it works fine. Now ideally users shouldn't be prompted for username/password, like when accessing a .Net web app over IE.
I tried searching the forum but it seems previous questions on the subject were either left unanswered or fraught with perils (suggesting the usage of unmaintained apache modules and whatnot). My understanding is this could be possible adding some third-party apache module(s) to the http listener, but seems rather brittle (not to mention unsupported) from what I have read.
Can someone shed some light on this, or suggest a working alternative. Perhaps there is a better maintained supported java solution that could be implemented by switching to the listener instead of ohs ?
Thanks for any lead or advice.
