Protecting applications in Tomcat using Directory Server

2005-09-24 Thread Surya Mishra 
 I have successfully used JNDI realm to protect my applications on Tomcat.
But if Tomcat is unable to connect to the the directory server, it refuses
access. I want it to use the tomcat-users list as a backup if it fails to
connect to the directory. It seems if the JNDI realm is set up, the
tomcat-users.cml file entries become useless.
Need Help!!!
Thanks

Re: Protecting applications in Tomcat using Directory Server

2005-09-25 Thread Surya Mishra 
Thank You Mark,
My Tomcat server won't even start if the directory server is unreachable.
That means other applications that have not protected are also failing.
Second question: There is no attribute in the Realm definition to give a
name to realm (as per the how-to document. How do I configure different
realms for different applications? What is the default realm name for the
tomcat-users.xml? I want the manager application to run using the default
tomcat-users.xml. Another application is to be protected using JNDI realm. A
third one is public meaning nothing is protected in that application.
 Thanks

Multiple realms in Tomcat

2005-09-26 Thread Surya Mishra 
My Tomcat server doesn't start if the JNDI realm fails to load (due to
unavailability of the directory server). I want the server to start properly
and serve the unprotected applications at least. Is there a way to specify
multiple realms so that different applications can use different realms for
authentication?
 Thanks

ClassCastException while sharing objects accross applications

2005-10-03 Thread Surya Mishra 
Hi,

I am trying to share an object between 2 applications deployed on the same
tomcat server. I have put the object in the ServletContext in my first
application. I access the object using
ServletContext.getContext("firstApp").getAttribute("object");.
The object comes in fine but it won't let me cast it to the actual Object
Type. I get a ClassCastException. I tried printing the name of the class.
That also came fine (same class name).

Thanks in advance.

Exception loading custom Realm

2005-10-10 Thread Surya Mishra 
Hi,

I created my own realm by extending UserDatabaseRealm. But when I start the
tomcat server, I get the following exception. If I use UserDatabaseRealm,
everything works fine. That means Tomcat can and does load the
UserDatabaseRealm class without any problem.

Re: Exception loading custom Realm

common/lib

But it doesn't have problem loading my custom realm. The problem is actually
in loading the UserDatabaseRealm:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/catalina/realm/UserDatabaseRealm

Thanks
