RE: basic authenication

[Suzy Fynes]

Thanks a million for that!

I'm using Tomcat as the app server, do you have any ideas how to do the
configuration in the web.xml to use a mysql database?

Thanks
Sue

Hi Suzy,

This is possible and shouldn't require any code change to your client if
you are already using Basic auth.

I have modified the StockQuote sample to use Basic authentication and
SSL and included the sample code at the end. You can ignore the SSL
stuff if you aren't using that.

You also need to set up your web.xml to secure the web service with
Basic authentication. You then need to configure your app server to use
a database realm.

I'm not sure what app server you are using so may not be able to help. I
got this running using JBoss 3.2.5 so I can help you more if that's what
you are using.

Hope this helps,

Patrick

Hey,
 
I'm looking to use basic authentication with axis through a mysql
database as opposed to the user.lst and perm.lst, can anyone give me
some pointers on doing this and does using a database change the client
code? With a java client the username and password comes in as
parameters of the main method.
 
Thanks
Suzy
