1) i hear people say, to add jar file to $TOMCAT_HOME/lib, I tried that
and that did not work, so i added them to $TOMCAT_HOME/server and that did
work.
2) request or session attributes inside the authenticator??
I'm using MyRealm, the interface to that is just
authenticate( String user, String pass ), how can I access the request
or session that is being authenticated??
thank you :):):)
