After chasing for a day, a nasty arose I thought
others might like to know of.
rhel has /etc/hosts localhost entry as
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
If you use form authentication, with server.xml entries such as
<Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.JDBCRealm"
debug="0"
driverName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
connectionURL="jdbc:mysql://localhost/tcusers"
connectionName="tomcat"
connectionPassword="shhhh"
userTable="x"
userNameCol="y"
userCredCol="z"
/>
then the connection is most likely to fail, not allowed, mysql error indicating
that this user is invalid as [EMAIL PROTECTED]
reverse the /etc/hosts entry such that localhost is found first
and it works.
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain
Sheesh.
