Greetings!
I've recently decided to take advantage of Tomcat's authentication
mechanism, however, it doesn't appear to be working for me. I've
configured a Realm in my context (through the admin tool). It is a
DataSourceRealm.
When I've tested everything, I keep getting pushed out to the error
page that I've configured in my login settings. Since I couldn't
figure out what was going on when I screwed up the debugging levels,
I grabbed the source and started stepping through it in my debugger.
Here's where it gets interesting. When FormAuthenticator.java gets
the Realm to authenticate against:
Realm realm = context.getRealm();
The Realm that is returned is Tomcat's global "UserDatabaseRealm" -
not my DataSourceRealm. At this point, its no wonder that the
authentication isn't succeeding!!
Why isn't Tomcat using the Realm configured in the context?! This is
on Tomcat 5.0.27 under jdk 1.4.2.
Any help would be appreciated!!
Make sure <resource-ref /> in web.xml is pointing to the correct
resource (ie., the one in the context).
OK, I don't know what was going on ... but when I went to start
copy/pasting my config files into this email, I saw that my context's
XML file in Catallina/localhost didn't have a Realm in it any longer.
What?! I obviously didn't dream that I configured it & committed the
changes ... ugh. Maybe I did forget to commit the changes, who knows?!
Man-o-man.
Thanks, though. Its all working now. Very nice :)
