I can't help you but I can say that I have what sounds like a similar authentication failure when trying to access the manager app (http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.0-doc/manager-howto.html).
When I try to access the manager webapp the BASIC authentication dialog popped up, I entered the username and password but can never authenticate successfuly. I even had a colleague type the username/password in as a sanity check but no go. (This was with Tomcat 4.0, I haven't tried 4.0.1) -Janek --- Cavan Morris <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hey everybody, > I'm running tomcat 4.0.1 under apache 1.3.22 through > mod_webapp from > webapp-module-1.0-tc40-linux-glibc2.2.tar.gz and > I've noticed a couple of > quirks in the way it's working.
