I forgot to add that I did change everything to the full path and is still failed. I know one day I'll stumble across the needle in the haystack as to why it is giving me fits. I will definitely try your debug suggestion. That option for some reason never crossed my mind. But at least now I can continue on with the project. :-)
I should also point out to anybody that wants to implement JAAS into Tomcat, one problem I found submitting the login to j_security_check is that it would screw up the url for the login.jsp page by putting it under the path of the servlet directory. I had setup Tomcat security to protect the servlet acceess. For instance, my login.jsp was under the main context directory as "http://localhost/context/login.jsp"; but the url in the browser got set to "http://localhost/context/servlet/login.jsp"; This hosed me until I figured out a "band aid" work around by putting the following code in my login.jsp page: if(request.getRequestURL().toString().endsWith("/servlet/login.jsp")) response.sendRedirect(response.encodeRedirectURL("../login.jsp")); It's not a solution though, but I could never find any info out there on how to fix this problem or more importantly what is the cause. But, if anybody out there needs any help with configuring JAAS into Tomcat 5, let me know. I've integrated LDAP authentication into the process as well...works beautifully...finally. :-) I'll be happy to share my code in order to prevent others from suffering from massive manual hair folicle extraction. :-) Now to get this thing to work on my Linux box. :-) Steve Miller -----Original Message----- From: Adam Hardy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, February 16, 2004 11:04 AM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: JAAS and TOMCAT 5 Well done. And if you want to debug it, go into your catalina.sh or .bat file and echo the whole execute string that the script uses to launch java. You'll see whether it's the JAVA_OPTS or not. I use the full path and not the envvar.
