 I am trying to use authentication of a product, that uses Basic

 webapps deployed do they specify to use Basic authentication. I am wondering

Tomcat supports basic, form, client-cert, and digest authentication. 

Unfortunately digest suffers the same security issues as basic
authentication, is not supported by most browsers, and is not required
by the servlet spec... so I wouldn't recommend you use it.

If client-cert authentication is not an option then go for basic or form
auth and assign a transport-guarantee to ensure the authentication
happens over secure channels (SSL). (Not sure how transport-guarantee
works w/ alternate front-end via mod_jk and such but similar steps can
be taken with Apache or IIS)

 is there any other place also where you can specify the login-config and
 realm-name besides  web.xml. or any other suggestions to go abt it.

Nope, not for container managed authentication with Tomcat.

Re: make error of mod-jk2 in Redhat Linux

go to ${apache2.home}/lib and link libapr-0.so to libapr.so and try
again...

Re: Tomcat + Apache + SSL

2003-09-23 Thread Sean Bruton
You can use mod_rewrite in Apache. It's been a while but I believe
something such as this in your httpd.conf should do the trick:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/securecontext(.*) https://servername/securecontext$1 [R]

I may be off a bit, so check the docs at:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_rewrite.html

or this helpful guide:

 I have apache set up to redirect requests for a specific context to
 Tomcat.  I am curious if there is a way to force all requests to that
 context to be redirected through SSL.
 
 http://servername/securecontext -- https://servername/sercurecontext
 http://servername/everythingelse -- http://servername/everythingelse
 
 Is this something I set up in workers2.properties or httpd.conf?  Can
 anyone point me at a decent tutorial?  Thanks.
