Hello Shi,

Thanks for your response. Q1 is clear.

About your response to question 2. You seem to imply that LDAP + Basic auth can be done. But I'm not sure what you are suggesting exaclty.
The Tomcat SSO you are talking about is this? ( https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc/windows-auth-howto.html ) The only refference it makes to Basic auth seems to be that it doesn't work and you need SPNEGO.
Apero CAS and QAuth2 both require another server (something not in my setup) right?

To be clear, can ofbiz take the basic auth credentials from the header to logon the user? (validating it against ldap, or trusting the servers validation of the basic auth)
