It's very possible the ldap is only there for compliance with some
spec, and tomcat code has no use for it.
No, it does use it. There's a valve that lets you do authentication
using LDAP, or some such thing.

Do we build ldapjdk from sources today ? If so, I'm impressed. The
mozilla source entanglements where pretty bad last time I looked.
There was a binary jarfile in there last time I looked.
Given that probably nobody uses the LDAP authenticator I'd be tempted
to just strip the dependency from tomcat5 rather than mess about
fixing ldapjdk.
