Windows Integrated Security

Hello -- I'm trying to get Windows Integrated Security to
authenticate clients and then use the *client's* username/password
when FDS connects to SQL Server.



IIS is providing initial authentication (IIS settings are set
to allow Windows Integrated Authentication only) and is then
passing off request handling to Tomcat via the Tomcat Connector
ISAPI filter. I have the latest MS JDBC driver installed and
working with "integratedSecurity=true" in my connection string.
Tomcat authentication is disabled per the instructions for setting
up the ISAPI filter.



My hope was that this configuration would allow IIS to
authenticate the client, and then the resulting call into Tomcat
would be running as the client, where the client's
username/password would be used by the JDBC driver to make the
connection to SQL server. This doesn't appear to be happening. The
call is always made as the user that started the Tomcat process. In
ASP, this is handled by enabling user "impersonation", but I can't
find any equivalent with these technologies.



Is there any approach that I can take to get FDS to connect
to the database using the client's credentials?



Thanks in advance!
