Re: JAASRealm Configuration
Continuing on my quest to get JAAS Realms working.. I understand that I need to set the following attributes in the Realm element: - appName - roleClassNames - userClassNames Is the appName to be the same as the web app name? Again, if someone has a working configuration that they'd like to share... I'd be most grateful. /s --- Sam Ewing [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Any help appreciated!

RE: REPOST: Tomcat 4.1.18: Digest authentication not working?
I might be wrong.. but there is a difference between
using Digest for authentication and storing the
passwords as digest version in the user
tomcat-users.xml file.
The former is what Pankaj is tying to do.. this causes
the passwords to be transmitted as digests version of
themselves from the users browser to Tomcat. Tomcat
then un-digests them and calls the Realm call to do it
work.
In the latter, we set the digest attribute to sha or
md5 in the Realm directive in server.xml. This does
not affect how the passwords are transmitted from the
users browser to Tomcat. The Realm implementation
computes the digest of the password and compares it
with the digested version..
Am I on the right track here?

Hi,
I am a relative newbiw to Tomcat.
The manager application works with BASIC
authentication (default
configuration), after making appropriate user and
role entries in
conf/tomcat-users.xml file.
However, when I change BASIC to DIGEST as shown
below:
Default web.xml for manager:
...
login-config
auth-methodBASIC/auth-method
realm-nameTomcat Manager
Application/realm-name
/login-config
...
Modified web.xml for manager:
...
login-config
auth-methodDIGEST/auth-method
realm-nameTomcat Manager
Application/realm-name
/login-config
...
It doesn't work. I get the login prompt in my
browser ( I tried both IE6.0
and Netscape 7.0 ) with the right realm string, but
after entering the user
name and the password, the prompt appers again.

A bunch of webapp questions!
More Webapp questions.. Pier ? :-) 1. I have the following directive in my httpd.conf WebAppDeploy examples conn /examples I find that if I start Tomcat and then Apache, for a little while Apache cannot even serve up content outside the web application path (eg. http://localhost/) *until* Tomcat finishes coming up. If Tomcat is shut down, or completely up things work fine. So the question is, who is serving up the static content *outside* the web application path? If Tomcat then why? (its outside the web app path!!) If not Tomcat, then why cant I get at http://localhost?? 2. SSL scenarios: a) Apache handles SSL and not Tomcat In httpd.conf, I put a the following inside my virtual host: SSLEngine on WebAppDeploy examples conn /examples Now, if in the Connector in server.xml, if I *PUT* secure=true, scheme=https, is the connection between Apache and Tomcat secure? If I *DONT* put secure=true, scheme=https, is the connection between Apache and Tomcat insecure? b) Tomcat handles SSL Couldn't get this too work! Did a secure=true, scheme=https in server.xml and used keytool to get me keystore etc.. but NEITHER of the URLs worked https://localhost/examples http://localhost/examples (SSLEngine not set in httpd.conf) 3. If I have JSPs scattered all over my web site, can I in some way redirect only the JSPs to Tomcat? Thanks! __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

RE: Re: deploy manager task in ant
Hi Clay,
Sorry for the lack of clarity. What I'm trying to do
is deploy a web application, and I get the following
execption. I checked
file:D:/sam/build.xml:79:
java.net.UnknownHostException: D
My deploy task looks like this:
target name=deploy description=Deploy web

depends=build
echo message=URL is ${url}/
deploy url=${url} username=${username}
password=${password}
path=${path}
war=file://${build}/hello.war/

I checked the URL- it is fine
(http://localhost:8080/manager)- even tried 127.0.0.1,
still no luck. Interestingly, all other tasks
(install, list, remove) work just fine- surely if it
was a name/IP lookup problem, it would have occured
there too.

like:

Re: Tomcat 4.1/4.0 manager application
Thanks for all the help Craig. A couple of other doubts :-) 1. In Tomcat 4.1, when a install command is run, how is the web application 'installed'. I mean, the application is neither copied into webapps, nor a Context entry added to server.xml; so how does the requests for /new_app (if that is the context path) sent to the new application? Is everything manipulated in the in memory representation of server.xml? 2. In Tomcat 4.0, the remove command doesnt remove the installed app from application base.. is that ok since the remove in 4.0 is actually an undeploy? 3. In Tomcat 4.0, the install copies the web app into the application base.. yet when I restart Tomcat, the 'manager list' doesnt show this new webapp, nor does is this application accessible. Why is this when the application has been unpacked into application base? Sorry for all the questions! --- Craig R.

In 4.0.4, the install command copies the web app into the appBase directory.. in 4.1.3, the install does not do this; however the installed application is availble for use. This is the correct behavior for the future -- it takes advantage of the fact that the docBase property of a context can be an absolute pathname. I use this feature for rapid development (coupled with the custom Ant tasks that talk to the Manager webapp, by installing the output directory of my build process. So, now my development cycle is: (1) ant compile (2) ant install (3) test things (4) fix something (5) ant compile reload (6) goto (3) until its time for a beer (7) ant remove and never have to shut down Tomcat for anything. (The only time you need to do a remove and install again is if you change web.xml - reload only pays attention to updated classes so that it can run faster.) The Application Developer's Guide that comes with 4.1.x explains this, and includes a nice build.xml file to start with. Besides supporting the Ant tasks described above, it automatically sets up your compile classpath to reflect the environment that will be present at runtime (for example, it adds all the JAR files in common/lib and the other shared directories). After restarting Tomcat 4.1, the newly installed application is not visible. Am I doing something wrong here? or is it a bug in 4.1? Saving the updated state (into server.xml) is a feature that is currently still being added -- I think you'll see that finished by 4.1.5. 2. How do you pass the war file to the 4.1 deploy command? The documentation says - Upload the web application archive (WAR) file that is specified as the request data in this HTTP PUT . Umm.. how do I do this via a browser? You don't -- it requires a client program. Simplest way, again, is to use the custom Ant deploy task which does all the nitty gritty for you. You can easily incorporate the execution of this into a shell script. On another train..what is the difference between what the install and deploy commands do? AFAIK, both seem to be installing and starting the app.. Install connects an unpacked directory, or a WAR file, directly to a running Tomcat installation. Because nothing has to be copied, this runs pretty quickly, and is ideal for development. However, the directory or WAR file has to be on the same machine that Tomcat is running on. Deploy lets you run a tool (or Ant script) on a separate computer. It takes longer because of the need to upload the WAR, but you can run it from anywhere, not just the same server. Over time, I expect to see management tools and IDEs incorporate support for using the deploy and undeploy features behind the scenes for you -- it makes for very easy Tomcat application management.

Mod_jk v/s mod_webapp
I was not able to locate any information on the differences between mod_webapp and mod_jk for Tomcat 4.0.. could anyone point me in the right direction? What about the respective protocols? APJ v/s WARP? Also, where could I find instructions on configuring apache to use mod_webapp? Any reply would be appreciated! Thanks, Sam __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
