Sorry, I should have mentioned, I am using my own Jaas realm and have my
own login modules.  I am currently assigning 'Tomcat' as the role in my
test login.

The question still applies, how do you get the role-ref mapping
configured in web.xml when the servlet is a JSP?

Unless you have changed something in tomcat-users.xml, the role assigned
to the "tomcat" user is "tomcat", not "Tomcat".  Role names, like pretty
much everything else in servlets and JSPs, are case sensitive.

Can't get SecurityRoleRef/Tomcat4 working

[Antony Bowesman]

Hi,

I can't get the  to work in Tomcat 4 with the
security JSP.

I have added the following

<%
  if (request.isUserInRole("Admin")) {
%>
User is in Admin role
<%
  } else {
%>
User is NOT in Admin role
<%
  }
%>

to jsp/security/protected/index.jsp in the distribution to Tomcat 4.

As security-role-ref is part of a servlet element of web.xml how do you
specify this with a JSP.

I tried adding the following to web.xml


 
 Protected
 
 /jsp/security/protected/index.jsp

Link between Admin and sysadmin
Admin
Tomcat



My user authenticates and is given the role 'Tomcat' but the Realm
hasRole() method is called with 'Admin'.

The code in HttpRequestBase does

public boolean isUserInRole(String role) {
...
if (wrapper != null) {
String realRole = wrapper.findSecurityReference(role);
if ((realRole != null) &&
realm.hasRole(userPrincipal, realRole))
return (true);
}

to map the servlet role to security-role so I guess I have not got
web.xml set up properly.

Any ideas?

Antony
