If you have a NPE, it might being thrown by the Realm. This can happen when there is a null role or similar. This has since been patched. You can test it by getting the latest JDBCRealm from source, compiling it and placing it in the appropriate nested dir in server/classes. (Which has a higher precedence than the lib dir)

One more thing,
when I commented out the realm section in server.xml, the program does
work with the default realm.

Hi, Thanks for the info. Apparently, the database was not set correctly. After correcting the previous problem, I am able to login. The log shows the correct authentication with no errors. Yet, I not getting anything after the login. the web page is clear, in stead of taking me to the next page, by design. the top url address is like:

http://localhost/login/j_security_check

any help, suggestion, or comment would be nice.

Thanks,
James

The JDBCRealm does two things: 1) Authenticates the user (by checking password) 2) Authorizes the user (by checking roles)

The logs would seem to imply the JDBC driver is blowing up creating the prepared statement in the second step (ie reading from the roles table).
I think Tim is right - he usually is - that there is a config problem with the db or the connection to the db.


A quick google later:

The line above the line you mentioned in the error log indicates that
the connection was established at one point:

2003-11-26 11:53:19 JDBCRealm[localhost]: Username admin successfully
authenticated
2003-11-26 11:53:19 JDBCRealm[localhost]: Exception performing
authentication

So, I don't think that the parameters are wrong, neither the database
setup. The web application functions with form base authentication
without usage of realm.


It is my next step to implement the realm, which I having problem.

but, I will double check my settings and configuration to make sure

that


I didn't miss anything.

thanks,

The problem is this:


2003-11-26 11:53:19 JDBCRealm[localhost]: Exception performing
authentication
java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for

JDBC]Can't


start a cloned connection while in manual transaction mode.

Since I don't use SQL server and Java, I can't be of more help, but my
guess is
- Database setup
- Driver parameter missing

Hi everyone,
Hope everyone will have a great TG Day.

Problem: I am not able to login successfully. It keeps failing.

Structure: using JDBCRealm + form authentication

database property: match exactly as explained in tomcat documentation
for setting up JDBCRealm

I am including three things:

1-server.xml part for realm setup
2-web.xml of the web apps
3-errorlog file is the error log I get when I attempt to use

jdbcrealm.
