I am lost. Right now, I have <Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.JDBCRealm"
debug="99" driverName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" connectionURL="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/artimus? user=javauser&password=javadude" userTable="members" userNameCol="user_name" userCredCol="user_password" userRoleTable="user_roles" roleNameCol="user_role"/> in the <Host> element. The UserDataTable is in the <Engine> element and is commented out like this: <!-- <Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.UserDatabaseRealm" debug="0" resourceName="UserDatabase"/> --> For the JDBCRealm applies to my application only, your advice is that I should configure within the <Context> element like this: <Context path="/myapp" docBase="myapp"> <Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.JDBCRealm" ..... /> Do you mean that I should also move UserDatabaseRealm from <Engine> to <Host>? And I should not comment it out? -Caroline </Context> --- Adam Hardy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 10/13/2003 07:56 AM Bill Barker wrote: > > "Caroline Jen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in > message > > > news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > >>Tim: > >> > >> Before I posted my questions regarding the > >>problem that I encountered, I have gone through > >> > > > > > http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/realm-howto.html#Configuring%20a%20Realm > > > >> As long as I have the JDBCRealm in > >>the server.xml, the Tomcat does not accept > >><security-constraint> specified in the > application's > >>web.xml file.
