Hello,

I'm trying to figure out how to disable
container-managed security in web app on Tomcat
4.1.12, but I'm having a hell of a time doing it.

I've tried setting security-contraints/role-name tag
to * for all resources (as in the XML snippet I
enclose below), but that doesn't seem to have any
effect. Yet I have read that wildcards are supposed to
be acceptable in the latest Servlet API.

One wrinkle is that I'm doing this in order to
override for my own purposes the "roles" parameter of
the Struts configuration file. But Struts normally
passes these roles to the app server's sercurity
machinery, which I why I'm trying to shut it off.

At first I thought this was a Struts question, but now
I think maybe I'm just wrestling with web.xml or
server.xml, and maybe it's really more to do with
tomcat.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Alexis Gallagher

<auth-constraint>
  <role-name>*</role-name> 
</auth-constraint>

</security-constraint>
