       Body:
The Tomcat 5 issue 29406 has been fixed since 2004-07-28 which means that from Tomcat 
5.0.28 we can resolve this problem without patching Tomcat ourselves.

Since yesterday, Scott removed the unneeded jmx dependencies from J2, with my vote :-)
But, I overlooked we needed it to be able to compile the patched JAASRealm. Because of 
that, Tomcat 5 deployment is currently broken!

Now, if we would bump up the minimal supported version of Tomcat 5 to 5.0.28, we can 
drop the need of the patch and at the same time fix the build again.

If nobody objects, I will set the additional (still undocumented!) attribute 
useContextClassLoader to false for the JAASRealm in Jetspeed.xml when deploying on 
Tomcat 5 and remove the JAASRealm patch.
And of course, the getting-started.html page as well as the Wiki information 
concerning the required Tomcat 5 version and the resolved JAASRealm problem shall be 
updated by me.

Finally, this issue can then be closed also.

        Key: JS2-55
    Summary: JAAS Authentication on Tomcat 5
       Type: New Feature

     Status: Unassigned
   Priority: Major

    Project: Jetspeed 2
 Components:

Environment: Tomcat 5.0.24, J2SE 1.4.2_03

Description:
As discussed on the Jetspeed developers mailinglist (thread starts with: 
http://nagoya.apache.org/eyebrowse/[EMAIL PROTECTED]&msgNo=14605) the new behaviour of 
Tomcat 5 to set the ContextClassLoader in the JAASRealm to the server classloader 
prevents defining LoginModules within the context of an web app.

As a quick solution to this problem the Tomcat 5 JAASRealm is going to be patched to 
revert back to the old Tomcat 4 handling.

The preferred solution is that the Tomcat Team would do this themselves or provide it 
as an option. Someone should start discussing this with them....

I'll provide a patch implementing the quick fix which will depend on the user property 
catalina.version.major=5 to be enforced upon the catalina server: when this condition 
is true a patched version of the Tomcat 5.0.24 JAASRealm.java revision 1.6 will be 
compiled into the $Tomcat/server/classes directory.
