Mike,

Thank you for finishing this HOWTO.  I immediately put it to work, but when
I try to log in using the username and password I specified in the
principals.xml, I keep on getting prompted for a username and password over
and over again (up to 3 times, actually, after that a 401 Unauthorised error
message appears).  It seems therefor as if the password I specified is not
accepted.  Hoping that you could help me out, I'm hereby sending my 3
modified files + the 3 original files (web.xml, orion-web.xml, and
principals.xml).  The url to the resource I'm trying to secure is:
http://www.webenquete.be/test/index.htm
All of the web-pages are placed in the Orion/default-web-app folder.  

Maybe another issue is relevant here: you wrote in the howto that Orion
would generate a tagpair in the orion-web.xml file.  However, this tagpair
was not generated automatically, I put it in manually.  Maybe this is an
indication that I'm going wrong somewhere along the way?
Maybe you also need to know that we use Orion as a server for SPSS Data
Entry Enterprise Server (Orion gets installed automatically if SPSS Data
Entry Web Server is installed, and it runs immediately out-of-the-box,
without any additional configuration), a program for conducting surveys on
the internet.

Kind regards,
Lars

put
  it up on our website.
