By default, that realm is the UserDatabaseRealm which stores credentials in tomcat-users.xml. So several choices for you, add all the certificates DN in that file with the right roles, or change the realm for something more suited to your need. Aside, you can also define which certificate attribute will be resolved to search for the principal, in X509UsernameRetrieverClassName (http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/config/realm.html) Cédric --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
