Gurus,
We have an Apache Tomcat based application named "ABCD" here at client site that we want OAM 11gR2 PS1 to integrate with for SSO purposes. I have successfully configured OHS to reverse proxy requests to Apache Tomcat server whenever somebody tries to access the application URL but still, I am getting the application login page once I have successfully authenticated on OAM SSO login page. The Tomcat based application is authenticating users against a "UserDatabase realm".
I know in terms of weblogic application, there is an OAM identity asserter provider which then populates the User Principal for the java environment with the authenticated OAM user. But there is no such OAM identity provider for Tomcat.
So my question is, is there an provider (or Tomcat equivalent) which will entrust authentication to a header, that could be used to populate the Java User Principal from the OAM_REMOTE_USER header? Is the weblogic equivalent of authentication providers present in tomcat as well? Are those called valves?
Please advise to the earliest.
Thanks !!
