Re: Users and authentication - how?
check the j2ee specs on the declaration in web.xml and j_securitycheck form based login servlet for use of jaas in your webapp with the tomcat realm as source of authentication data. best regards, thomas -- Thomas Strauß SRS-Management GmbH HRB 25262 AG Darmstadt Gfs.: Detlev Homilius, Thomas Strauß *** sent via mobile phone Am 18.09.2011 um 17:17 schrieb Dola Woolfe dolac...@yahoo.com: Hi, I'm missing something very basic.

Surely, there exists a relatively generic approach to this that includes a backend database, new user form and authentication rules! But I can't find. Can someone direct me as to where to start my research? First, read the servlet spec section concerning authentication. Second, read Tomcat's doc about selecting and configuring a Realm for the particular authentication mechanism you want to use. You didn't bother to tell us the version of Tomcat you have, but here's the link for the current one: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/realm-howto.html You also might want to look at the How To part of the Tomcat Wiki; there are a few entries in there related to authentication. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.

Re: Users and authentication - how?
If you find please share it with the rest of us. The only solution I could find is * either use a portal solution which has already implemented a security model like, Jetspeed 2. uportal etc * go with the default models as they are presented in JEE tutorial, basic , form etc. * Implement your own using phase listeners. Using a portal takes time to learn. The default models are very primitive, they do not support localization or roles. They have roles but basically there is 1-1 mapping between roles and groups which is not very practically in real applications. Phase Listeners seems the most promising approach. I had already done alot of work designing the db schema for security and the stored procedures but I couldn't decide to go for phase listeners as there is no clear guideline on how to use them or if it is the right approach for such a problem. I finally decided to go for the form which created a very ugly interface as several languages are not supported and as said the security model is very primitive. Please tells us how you decided to proceed if you continue with this endeavour. 18/9/2011 6:17 ??, ?/? Dola Woolfe ??: Hi, I'm missing something very basic.
