Single Sign-On Spring Application

Question

I am working on a Tomcat web application on a Linux server and all clients are under a Windows domain. I need to get a user account from a request in order to assign it the correct role in my application. So, to summarize, I just need to get a user account because authentication is not required.

What could be a simpler basis or solution for this? Jaas maybe a solution?

could you help me?

thanks,
Andrea
