Hi,
We are running our applications on Tomcat 4 and 5. On both versions we are
having problems with the basic authentication.
The problem is that I haven't found a way to overwrite the default 401 error
page with a custom page.
If I add an error-page element in web.xml for error 401
<error-page>
<error-code>401</error-code>
<location>/err401.html</location>
</error-page>
then the username/password window is completely ignored and the err401.html
page displayed.
I searched the archives and different forums but there are a lot of people
asking for help with similar problems without any responses.
I found two reported bugs related to that issue: 12194 and 22617 for tomcat
3 and 4
I didn't find any bugs for tomcat 5 but it still not working for me.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ross
