Thanks Ivan for the reply.
That's indeed exactly what I want to achieve: a deploy time security realm.
I have a maven project, but then still I have to build ears for all
contexts used.
I was hoping to be able to overrule the <realm-name> in web.xml at
deploy time.
But ... after fiddling around I found 2 ways to get it to work:
* if I edit the deployed geronimo-web.xml and web.xml (under the
repository tree), and run deploy.sh restart app
* using 'jar' on the ear extracting the war, extracting web.xml and
geronimo-web.xml from the war, edit that and update the war, and
then the ear, and deploy that one

Not sure I understand your question correctly, if you mean that a
generic name like "security" is used in the geronimo-web.xml for the
realm name, and in the deployment time, you wish that the real
security realm will be changed with the current web context name, I am
afraid that it is impossible. might be other guys could have good ideas.
If your project is built with maven, I think that you might use
placeholder in the xml file, maven plugin could help you to update
those values while assembling the web application.

realm.
It is, in my case, but that lists the 'generic' realm for my
application. But deploy time I would like that realm to be
specific to my deployed context.
Yes, there is also a xml entry named realm-name of the
login-config, AFAIK, it will only used to show on the popping
logon window of the browser.
Is that the realm-name of the web.xml you're referring to ? I've
set that to the 'generic' name as well. How can I get that to be
context specific ?

I'm using basic authentication.

Hi,
How can I get a security realm name per deployed
context ? We deploy several versions/instances of our
software on the same Geronimo server, and want the
browser to remember username/password per url.
When deploying a web app we create a security realm
name (in the plan) containing the context to which we
deploy, e.g. secure-context1, secure-context2. In the
Geronimo console I can see all the realms created, so
that seems to be fine.
My web.xml (and geronimo-web.xml) contain 'secure' as
(generic) realm name, and that is what the browser
reports when I connect.
Maybe a bigger question (for me) is: how does the
security definition in the plan.xml link back to the
(geronimo-)web.xml or how can I link my
web.xml/geronimo-web.xml to the realms available ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Kees
