Title: Re: Authentication Problems
Hi Tom,
 
In my "tomcat-users.xml" I had "tomcat" as my password for user john and have put "root" in the rule and it works fine. Here is how it looks like:
 <user name="john"   password="tomcat" roles="tomcat,role1,root"/>
My understanding of slide is very limited but it worked for me, hope it might help.

Subject: Login Problems

Hello,
     thanks for the hel  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
