NT Service and Home Directory
Hey all, I'm running tomcat 4.1.29 as a service on a windows xp machine. My webapp uses some CORBA stuff and needs a jacorb.properties file located in my home directory. I've tried setting up the service to run using my user account but it can't find the properties file in my home directory. Is there anyway to setup the service to run as if I was logged into the machine and ran 'catalina run'??

RE: Digested Passwords and Oracle 8.1.7
Thanks everyone for your answers. I've decided to go with the *try and make a connection* combined with a filter to do my authentication. I may also try the Realm again by putting the Oracle Encrypt Function around my password field in the server.xml. I'm not sure if this will work or not. The reason we are using Oracle Logins for each user is because the main application is all written in Oracle Stored Procedures (the stored procedures write html files, ugh). My app is an upgrade from a legacy app which has to integrate with the new app as much as possible.

For most databases connecting to a db takes much more time than performing a select on a given connection. - To implement this you have to implement your own realm, as the db realm that is delivered with tomcat assumes that user, password and roles are store in tables and are accessed through a unique database user for all requests. - Each user needs an own database account. -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:jattwood;hgmp.mrc.ac.uk] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 23.

If yu succeed then the password was valid, otherwise it isn't. That way you don't need to know the encryption algorithm. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mailto:tomcat-user-unsubscribe;jakarta.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: mailto:tomcat-user-help;jakarta.apache.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mailto:tomcat-user-unsubscribe;jakarta.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: mailto:tomcat-user-help;jakarta.apache.org
Digested Passwords and Oracle 8.1.7
Hey all! I was wondering if any has ever tried to use a Tomcat Realm directly to Oracle's Username/Password table. I found the table in SYSTEM.DBA_USERS which has the username and encrypted password. The problem is, I have no way of digesting the password. Does anyone know the algorithm Oracle uses to encrypted their passwords? I've checked MD5 and SHA but they don't seem to be it. I tried MD2 but it Tomcat doesn't seem to like it. Any Ideas?

RE: Digested Passwords and Oracle 8.1.7
I need the algorithm so I can encrypt a password. The Tomcat Realm would then compare the encrypted password to the encrypted password in the database. I don't need to decrypt the password.

In fact, I would hope that you can't or Oracle would have a big problem. -Original Message- From: Graham Lounder [mailto:lounder;caris.com] Sent: Tuesday, October 22, 2002 8:28 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Digested Passwords and Oracle 8.1.7 Hey all!
