Tomcat UserDatabase
Is there an accepted way for an application to directly access/manipulate the
tomcat-users.xml database? I would like to automate the process of adding users
from my servlet but I am having a hard time finding documentation/samples of how
to do this. It may just be that I don't know how to grant access to this
resource to my app. I have added a line like
grant codeBase file:${catalina.home}/webapps/my_appt/WEB-INF/classes/- {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
};
to the catalina.policy file. My code compiles but I get a
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/catalina/realm/UserDatabaseRealm
error that I assume is due to an access restriction.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

RE: Tomcat UserDatabase
Hi,
Tomcat-users.xml is a plain file: you can edit it manually or using a
programmatic file I/O API. Alternatively, you can use JMX to invoke
operations on the MemoryUserDatabase(Factory) classes: for that you code
should be within a privileged context (it's a context attribute) and the
common classloader repository.

I installed the last binary build on my system, however, I need access to the manager web application, but I don't know the username/password. Where can I find this, or what is this password in general? Sjoerd van Leent - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Tomcat Userdatabase
you can set it in tomcat-users.xml, e.g.: ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'? tomcat-users role rolename=manager/ role rolename=admin/ user username=user password=pass roles=admin,manager/ /tomcat-users On Wednesday 20 August 2003 3:45 pm, Sjoerd van Leent wrote: I installed the last binary build on my system, however, I need access to the manager web application, but I don't know the username/password.

Re: Tomcat Userdatabase
Hi Sjoerd, It's in /tomcat/conf/tomcat-users.xml should look like this: ## ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'? tomcat-users role rolename=tomcat/ role rolename=role1/ role rolename=manager/ role rolename=admin/ user username=tomcat password=tomcat roles=tomcat,admin,manager/ user username=role1 password=tomcat roles=role1/ user username=both password=tomcat roles=tomcat,role1/ /tomcat-users ### then restart tomcat and voila! you're in :-) kind regards, Luke On Thu, 2003-08-21 at 05:15, Sjoerd van Leent wrote: I installed the last binary build on my system, however, I need access to the manager web application, but I don't know the username/password.
