RE: Authentication!

[Peter Hawkins]

All three files are the same as mine except that you have         <!-- Users management -->       <!--auto-create-users>true</auto-create-users>-->       <auto-create-users>false</auto-create-users>   in Domain.xml and I removed these.     I'm not sure exactly how this feature works because I am doing manual configuration and never played with it. I'd be interested to know if removing them solves your problem.   Peter -----Original Message----- From: Miguel Carvalho [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, 3 April 2001 12:21 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Authentication! Hi. I don�t know if you have understood me very well. What i wan�t is to set up users in tomcat for the slide client. I've done what you said me but i stell connect to tomcat and the client autmatically logs in, with the default conf. . What i'm doing wrong? I atach the files so you can help me.   C:\Program Files\Apache Group\jakarta-tomcat-4.0-b1\webapps\slide\WEB-INF\web.xml C:\Program Files\Apache Group\jakarta-tomcat-4.0-b1\webapps\slide\domain.xml C:\Program Files\Apache Group\jakarta-tomcat-4.0-b1\conf\tomcat-users.xml   ---- Original Message ----- From: Peter Hawkins To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 02, 2001 12:38 PM Subject: RE: Authentication! I've just been through this :) Authentication happens in the container (eg in Tomcat) and it has to have the right role. So... first you uncomment the security-constraint section in web.xml (remove the  !-- and the   -- at the end of the file), then you go to your tomcat config directory and edit tomcat-users.xml. There, add two extra lines:     <user name="guest"   password="myguespasswordt"    roles="tomcat,guest" />   <user name="root"    password="myrootpassword"     roles="tomcat,root" />   and you should get prompted for a login after restarting tomcat. You should be able to authenticate with the accounts above. For other servlet containers, you'll need to do the equivalent.   Peter -----Original Message----- From: Miguel Carvalho [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, 2 April 2001 9:04 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Authentication! Hi, i have a doubt about slide configuration files. I read that you need to make changes to web.xml and domain.xml to get slide to give authentication. But when i read this files, i just make a change: uncoment the comented part on web.xml. I only make this change because i'm not sure of what changes do i have to make in domain.html to get authentication on (it is still working like default conf, letting me read but no write, without asking for password), and how do i define users/permissions. ???? Other question is how are users authenticated? can you add new users in runtime?   Thanks,  maik
