There are 2 ways of using security. - normal servlet container security (tomcat 3 & 4 or any other servlet engine) - integrated security (tomcat 4 configured like on the webpage) 1) normal servlet security - make <security-constraint> in web.xml - tomcat ask user for pasword for <realm-name> - tomcat checks password with method configured in server.xml (by default lookup password in tomcat-users.xml) - if password ok then check if user has role (in tomcat-users.xml) that matches a role in web.xml <auth-constraint> - if user has role the user gets access to servlet - Slide doesn't use the tomcat roles !!!! - a web user "bita" maps to "/users/bita" There are also groups in slide (their names start with "+") and a user can be in a group (slide groups have nothing to do with tomcat roles !!!) As far as I know those roles in domain.xml aren't used (maybe in method 2 ???) 2) integrated security (I don't use that, can't help you with that) You configure tomcat 4 to not look in tomcat-users.xml but ask slide for the password. Look at the jakarta site for info how to do it. And you have to uncomment that property like you did... For more details, you have to ask Remy.... > Any help is appreciated. > > Bita. Dirk
