I'm trying to use Active Directory for authentication and authorization purposes in a Web application. 

Using the information in the learning object : "http://www.webratio.com/learn/learningobject/how-to-enable-single-sign-on"

I was able to set the username (get_remote_user) with information retrieved from active directory. 

For authorization purposes I also need to get the information regarding user's role configured in Active Directory. 

Can someone tell me how to do this?

Thanks

Hi,

Please provide more information regarding your issue. How do you want to authenticate in Active Directory? Through LDAP or through Kerberos? Also, tell us on what container do you want to deploy your web application (Tomcat, JBOSS, etc.) and which is the server's operating system? For example, if you want to connect from a server on which Linux is installed, one of the solutions will be SPNEGO. If the deployment server is a Windows machine then Waffle library is a good approach.
