I have tomcat 5.5.17 and I recently downloaded the admin web app. I
can't seem to find a way to authenticate to it. I have an existing
JDBCRealm that works fine with the manager web app, using digested
passwords. I added a user with a non-digested password, since admin uses
FORM authentication, but I still get authenticate failures.
Below is what I have for server\webapps\admin\WEB-INF\web.xml (just the
relevant portion, where teh security constraints are defined). I just
modified the realm name to point to the aforementioned JDBCRealm. I have
a user registered there with non-digested password whose role is admin,
but I still get authentication failures when I try to access admin. I
also tried configuring the UserDatabaseRealm using
conf\tomcat-users.xml, just to get another data point, and that didn't
work either. Anyone know what I'm missing??
