Hi, I've got a problem with a tomcat 4.1.30. I want a webapp to use a JNDIRealm for authentication which in turn uses NIS for authenticating the user. But this doesn't work, I cannot login using correct password and username.
server.xml looks like this for the Realm: <Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.JNDIRealm" connectionURL="nis://$server/$domain/user" contextFactory="com.sun.jndi.nis.NISCtxFactory" debug="99"/> where $server and $domain are the NIS Server and the domain for authentication. The web.xml of the webapp has this for the authentication: <security-constraint> <web-resource-collection> <web-resource-name>test</web-resource-name> <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern> </web-resource-collection> <auth-constraint> <role-name>student</role-name> </auth-constraint> </security-constraint> <login-config> <auth-method>BASIC</auth-method> <realm-name>test</realm-name> </login-config> According to the Realm HOWTO and the few Information about NIS over JDNI this should be correct and it's also not tomcat not finding the ContextFactory for nis, I tested with a small servlet. What I'm not sure about are the parameters for the Realm like roleBase userBase and those. Thanks for any hints.
