Login Problems

Title: Re: Authentication Problems

Hello,      thanks for the help   so far .  Running Tomcat 3.2.1 and Slide m8 I've now been able to get the authorization box to pop up when I access my local http://localhost:8080/slide URL.  Unfortunately, now I cannot seem to login correctly.      I have added the users "root" and "john" to the system to correspond to the users noted in Slide's "Domain.xml."  (I think that is what I am supposed to do.)  And I have changed my "tomcat-users.xml" to look like this...                                             <tomcat-users>                                                   <user name="tomcat" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat,john,root" />                                                   <user name="role1"  password="tomcat" roles="role1"  />                                                   <user name="both"   password="tomcat" roles="tomcat,role1" />                                                     <user name="root"   password="root"   roles="tomcat,role1" />                                                     <user name="john"   password="john"   roles="tomcat,role1" />                                              </tomcat-users>   The "Domain.xml" I have not edited at all, it is the standard one that comes with Slide.  It has sections that look like this, which I'm sure you are familiar with...                                             <objectnode classname="slideroles.basic.RootRoleImpl" uri="/users/root">                                                 <revision>                                                     <property name="password">root</property>                                                 </revision>                                             </objectnode>                                             <objectnode classname="slideroles.basic.RootRoleImpl" uri="/users/john">                                                 <revision>                                                     <property name="password">john</property>                                                 </revision>                                             </objectnode>     After restarting the Tomcat server, I still cannot login as anybody except tomcat/tomcat.  All other logins fail to work, even the basic role1/tomcat and both/tomcat that come with the system.  And when I do log in as tomcat/tomcat, it tells me I am not allowed to view the page.                                  "15 Mar 2001 14:30:30 - WARNING - Access denied on / by user tomcat for action /actions/read"   I would like to be able to log in as john or root.  I would also like to be able to see the URL once I log in.  Could you tell me what I am missing here?, or what else I need to do to get this stuff working?  Thanks very much for you help, Tom
