re: a FAQ or whatever, it's just a case of reading the tomcat 5 docs on the Jakarta website where appropriate.
The manager app will only let you log on with the role 'manager'. If your user in that realm isn't in the role, you won't get in. You can change this in the server/webapps/manager/WEB-INF/web.xml config.
However you say you don't even get the chance to login? Strange.
I'm not familiar with the admin app. Are you saying that your realm should show up there but doesn't?
And the realm works fine for your app and for the admin app, but not for the manager app?
Judging by the error in the admin app you spoke of, I would guess that there is something wrong with the roles configuration in your realm. Do you use roles in your own app? If so and it works, then perhaps it's not that problem. But I'd look there first.

thanx for your hint, is there a FAQ or Readme on TC5 I missed ?
I moved the manager.xml to ...\conf\catalina\localhost. It has the following content: " <Context path="/manager" docBase="../server/webapps/manager" debug="0" privileged="true">
<ResourceLink name="users" global="UserDatabase" type="javax.sql.DataSource"/> </Context> " You're right, the Realm is defined in the server.xml:
" ... <GlobalNamingResources> ... <Resource name="UserDatabase" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource" />
<ResourceParams name="UserDatabase" > .... </ResourceParams> </GlobalNamingResources> " Unfortunately: no effect, "403 - Access to the requested resource has been denied" The admin-app still shows no entry in 'User database"
Is there something else that's worth having a look at ?

hello folks,
a question on datasource realms and the manager app:
When I installed TC 5.0.16 'out-of-the-box' I could start the
manager-app.
Then I deployed our webapp (manually), configured a DataSourceRealm
using mysql
for authentification, configured SSL, form based LogIn and ... the
webapp works fine.
(The resource name is still "UserDatabase")
But if I now try to use the manager-app I get the error: "403 - access
denied" without even being prompted.
I've modified "..server\webapps\manager\WEB-INF\web.xml" so that it
reads:
"... <resource-env-ref-name>UserDatabase</resource-env-ref-name> <resource-env-ref-type>javax.sql.DataSource</resource-env-ref-type> .... "
and "..server\webapps\manager\manager.xml" that it reads
"... <ResourceLink name="users" global="UserDatabase" type="javax.sql.DataSource"/> .... " ....no effect.
Even more strange the behaviour of the "admin-app":
The Login-screen appears as usual and login data that complies with the
the DataSource Realm is being accepted.
Clicking on "dataSource" shows up the 'mysql-jdbc' Installation. Clicking on 'user database' shows....nothing. Clicking on 'user roles, groups' etc. results in an error "The server encountered an internal error (Error retrieving attribute
groups) that prevented it from fulfilling this request."
Admin-app uses struts with TagLibs, is there something hardcoded in
there ?
Why do the these two applications not recognize the new Realm ?
Hi Dirk, presumably you configured the realm in the server.xml.
You need to put the manager.xml file in conf/Catalina/localhost/ which is the new place for it in 5.x
