Re: manager for some users
The problem is that some partners has said me that this is insecure and should only be used on beta application servers. At least this is what the department says us to deny this petition.

We have different people working on each application and each one of them needs to restart at some different moments their applications. The problem is that the department don´t want to give us manager access for all the applications. I´ve been looking for the way of giving manager access to only one or two application, depending on the user. For example, alex should be able to access as manager (to restart the app) with permissions on postgrados application, but not able to see presupuestum app. In the other way, the user Maria should be able to access to presupuestum but not to postgrados. Can it be done in tomcat? I really need this, in advance thanks for your help.

Or are they claming that reloadable is insecure? uh, so if you can't use the manager, and you can't put files where tomcat can get at them, how DO you install a webapp?

Otherwise it is trivial for one person's webabb to bring down everyone elses. e.g. sometimes all it takes is re-installing the webapp enough times until tomcat runs out of memory. eric - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Yes, FTP itself is insecure. It has nothing to do with ability of admins. The protocol iteself is a clear text protocol and is thus insecure. Or are they claming that reloadable is insecure? uh, so if you can't use the manager, and you can't put files where tomcat can get at them, how DO you install a webapp? You can upload/install a webapp in many ways that do not require you to use FTP, ssh is one example. -Steve O. «¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤» There's no obfuscated Perl contest because it's pointless. - Jeff Polk Steve O. http://www.steveo.us New pics: B17G and B24 http://www.steveo.us/B17-B24 B17G WWII Bomber Yankee Lady Flight http://www.steveo.us/b17ride SUNY NCC MATH/COMPUTER Dept. http://www.matcmp.ncc.edu - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
