Building mod_webapp from sources with Apache 2
Hi! I have been browsing around all of the Jakarta-site (including the CVS) for instructions on how to build mod_webapp (jakarta-tomcat-connectors-4.0.2-01) from source with Apache 2.0.x. All of the documentation I have found so far only covers how to build mod_webapp with Apache 1.3.x. Are there any instructions on how to build mod_webapp with Apache 2.0.x?

Similar proposals are in the draft functional specification for the JNDI realm, and I submitted a patch to the tomcat-dev list earlier today that implements the required functionality. Great! You are more than welcome to try it, if you get the chance. Yes, I'll try it out as soon as possible. I have to setup my environment so that I can build tomcat from sources first. -- --- Fredrik WestermarckSystemutvecklare/IT-avdelningen Mälardalens högskola Tel +46-21-103162 Box 883Fax +46-21-101636 721 23 VästeråsEpost [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- -- To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Troubles with the list: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: JNDIRealm
John Holman wrote: JNDIRealm works by retrieving the password from the directory server and comparing it explicitly with the value given by the user. Unfortunately AFAIK this mode of operation will not work with eDirectory. Reading the Realm HOWTO again made me realize that... Why would anyone want the Realm to get the password from the server instead of doing a simple LDAP bind? There have been proposals (e.g. from me) to enhance JNDIRealm to allow it to authenticate the user by binding to the directory server, in the same way as auth_ldap. This should work with eDirectory, but isn't available yet. Have the proposal been approved by the Tomcat developers, and are there any people working on this issue? -- Fredrik Westermarck -- To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Troubles with the list: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
JNDIRealm
Hi! We are going to upgrade to Tomcat and are investigating how to implement user authentication. Currently we are using the authentication that is offered in Apache with auth_ldap. Since Tomcat offers an authentication mechanism (Realms) we would like to use that functionality. However since we are using Novell NDS (eDriectory) to store our users and have several NDS servers, we would like to have Tomcat to authenticate a user against one or more of the NDS servers. Is this possible? As far as I can see the JNDIRealm can only handle a single server to authenticate users against. -- Fredrik Westermarck -- To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Troubles with the list: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Upgrading from JServ/Apache to Tomcat/Apache
Hi! We have been using JServ/Apache for a long long time. Since JServ is not supported anymore we need to upgrade to Tomcat/Apache to be able to use JSPs. We want to keep our existing URLs (/servlet/) and have the possibility to have JSPs in the htdocs folder. We want the following mappings: /servlet/ - Tomcat /*.jsp- Tomcat All of the rest should be served by Apache as defined in httpd.conf. Question: Which combination of Tomcat/Apache module can be used to achieve this? Tomcat 3.2/3.3/4.0? mod_jk/mod_webapp? -- --- Fredrik Westermarck --- -- To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Troubles with the list: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

RequestDispatcher rd = request.getRequestDispatcher(pathToServlet); rd.forward(request, response); // or rd.include(request, response) .. Use the setAttribute()-method in the servlet that handles the original request to add the extra parameters. Then use getAttribute() in the servlet that you forwarded or included to read the extra parameters. -- Fredrik Westermarck -- To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Troubles with the list: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Logout with basic autorization
kevin ritter wrote: Can anyone one verify if this is really the case, that is, to logout with BASIC authentication you have to close the browser window? This seems to be a little goofy. Are there any work arounds? The troubles of revoking user credentials when using HTTP-authentication is documented in the HTTP/1.1 specification (probably 1.0) under http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec15.html#sec15.6. The only reliable way of logging out when you have been authenticated (if using HTTP-authentication) is to close _all_ of your browser windows. -- Fredrik Westermarck -- To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Troubles with the list: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
