Dear friends,
I have a problem that I can't solve.
I'm trying to use BASIC authentication in TOMCAT 4.0.5 for a web application and
its web.xml file is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE web-app
PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN"
"http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd";>
<web-app>
<security-constraint>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>Area protetta</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>/index.html</url-pattern>
</web-resource-collection>
<auth-constraint>
<role-name>tomcat</role-name>
</auth-constraint>
</security-constraint>
<login-config>
<auth-method>BASIC</auth-method>
<realm-name>BASIC AUTHENTICATION AREA</realm-name>
</login-config>
</web-app>
But when I call index.html page no authentication form is displayed! (index.html
exists on both the applications).
I tried it on a server with Tomcat 4.0.6 and everything goes well.
So I tried to use, on TOMCAT 4.0.5, the same web.xml also for the ROOT
application (that comes with TOMCAT) and everything goes well.
On your opinion, why the authentication doesn't run on my application?
Please, help me!
I thank you in advance!
