I noticed that the prompt for my credentials says
"Enter username and password for 'Tomcat Manager
Application'".
That prompt comes from the 401.jsp file in the manager webapp, not the
<realm-name> in the web.xml file; I don't think the <realm-name> is
actually used anywhere.
But why does my custom app display "JDBCRealm" in the credentials
prompt? Something is making these two apps behave differently wrt
authentication, and it seems that the fact that they display different
authentication prompts could be a clue. Problem is, even with this clue,
I don't have a clue. :)
??? There's no such <ResourceLink> in
webapps/manager/META-INF/context.xml, nor in conf/context.xml, so where
did that come from? Sounds like you don't actually have a clean Tomcat
6 installation.
Correct. I copied it over from my Tomcat 5 installation during the many
gyrations I've been going through trying to find something that will
make this work. I guess I lost track of what I changed at this point,
but I'm certain it was failing with a fresh install. But just to be
sure, I started from scratch one more time with a clean deployment, and
I still have the same problem. In fact, I did the same thing on my other
system (after de-installing Tomcat 5.5), and I get the same behavior
there-- admin authentication works out of the box, but then stops
working after I change the realm to a JDBCRealm.
I only make two changes to the original distribution. In
${catalina.home}\conf\server.xml, I comment out the UserDatabaseRealm
and add a JDBCRealm; and in
${catalina.home}\webapps\manager\WEB-INF\web.xml, I change the
login-config to
<login-config>
<auth-method>DIGEST</auth-method>
<realm-name>JDBCRealm</realm-name>
</login-config>
Either this is not the right way to make an app work with JDBCRealm
(though it works with my custom app), or there's something wrong in this
version of Tomcat.
I appreciate all you've done, and I don't want to take up anymore of
your time on this. Unless you have any final ideas, I'm ready to give up
on making it work. Thanks again.
