DataSourceUserManager questions

[cybermaster]

Hi there,   I use FORM-based athentication at this time, and tried to change from the default UserManager (which I read somewhere to be an instance of XMLUserManager) to DataSourceUserManager. Everything works A ok with the default user manager. I got this to work with DataSourceUserManager as long as I specify *each* userid in the security-role-mapping – the group-names mappings don’t seem to work.   I figure I either have a typo someplace (see attached orion-application.xml and populate.sql), or the XMLUserManager is not set or consulted as Parent (as it should be according to doc?!) for the group names stuff, and so my join table supportuser_groups doesn’t help me because the groups (in principals.xml) aren’t getting consulted, while the RoleManager works and maps the specified user [customer1ntt], which is also found in the database.   Questions:   (1)     is there a parameter to set the parent for DataSourceUserManager (2)     or do I have to call setParent(XMLUserManager); [which jndi reference?] (3)     do I need to write MyOwnUserManager if I want to check for users in both db and principals.xml   P.S. There is no error message – it’s only users don’t get authenticated unless they appear in security-role-mapping   Thanks   Peter
