I asked the lead developer of the IdP for details as to why Tomcat 5
is not supported. Apparently Tomcat 5 has a problem parsing
specification-compliant cookies that they have chosen to not fix,
with the suggested remedy of "upgrade to 6." As a result, we can
only support Tomcat 6.<br>
<br>
Tomcat 6 packages are available directly from the Tomcat project's
website:<br>

<br>
Future distributions of the IdP with an embedded servlet container
would hopefully reduce the amount of package management you'll need
to do.<br>
<br>
Hope this answers your question,<br>
Nate.<br>
