Hi Peter,

I think we need more info to help.

Your web.xml update looks okay to me. Double check with
\tomcat\webapps\examples\WEB-INF\web.xml as it also uses a protected
area.

What authorization scheme do you use: form-based, basic auth ?
If form-based send the corresponding parts of your web.xml and info
about the directory structure of your login components

What browser do you use? IE? I'm asking because of a weird problem:
http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13861 
(if you can confirm this, subscribe, vote, I'm trying to find a
workaround for this problem, although I won't start patching... I think
this problem is somehow connected to requiring "roles", without that
"confidential" seems to work... Strange... I'll keep an eye on that)

What ports is Tomcat running on? 8080/8443 or 80/443?

What does "not work" mean? Error messages, what happens, what doesn't
happen, what should happen?


Michael
