Thanks to your post I was able to finally authenticate to AD, as soon as I enabled the chaining file, I couldn't authenticate anymore. So that tells us where the problem is. We need to fix the chaining-authentication-context.xml file.

Did you solve this problem with your chaining file? I'm having similar troubles.

I did not…I gave up on the application for the time being. For my needs I really need applications that can do LDAP authentication and are not as complicated to set up.

I have spent hours and hours on this issue, searched all over the web and could not accomplish what I wanted to accomplish. I think that if you are an experience developer, you can make it work by reading the documentation but I am not a developer and have a hard time understanding the documentation.

I will pick it up in the future, hopefully the configuration will be simpler.

Good luck.
