REPORT #626 Details.

Project: Tomcat
Category: Bug Report
SubCategory: New Bug Report
Class: swbug
State: received
Priority: high
Severity: serious
Confidence: public
Environment: 
   Release: 3.2.1
   JVM Release: 1.3.0
   Operating System: Windows 2000
   OS Release: Service pack 1
   Platform: Intel (x86)

Synopsis: 
security-role-ref not observed in isUserInRole()

Description:

NOTE: unable to submit as me ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) as submitter list does not include me 
(after following Create New User Link)

Tomcat 3.2.1's implementation of isUserInRole() does not validate the role
based on the security-role alias defined in a servlet's security-role-ref. Instead
it treats the role-name as an actual role-name. The result is that an incorrect
value is passed to the realm handling user/role validation.

This breaks J2EE 1.2.1 CTS tests for basic security.
