Hi,
I`m using tomcat 3.2.1, Win 2000 and I tried to configure a servlet (Header, displays
just all received Header information) with basic authentication. I changed the web.xml
as followed:
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>
Header
</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>
/protected/Header
</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<security-constraint>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>Birtes Protected
Area</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>/protected/*</url-pattern>
<http-method>DELETE</http-method>
<http-method>GET</http-method>
<http-method>POST</http-method>
<http-method>PUT</http-method>
</web-resource-collection>
<auth-constraint>
<role-name>tomcat</role-name>
</auth-constraint>
</security-constraint>
<login-config>
<auth-method>BASIC</auth-method>
<realm-name>Birte</realm-name>
</login-config>
That works (http://localhost/myApp/protected/Header). But if I enter
http://localhost/myApp/servlet/Header I also get the servlet but without
authentication. Why and what must I do that the servlet is only available with the
first URL.
Thanks Birte
