Hi,
When I try to apply basic authentication to an area, Win 2000 pops up with a
login dialog that requires windows credentials (or something). It seems like
Windows refuses do allow Tomcat to do authentication alone. Without any
knowledge of Tomcat internals, I guess it's the AccessInterceptor that
controls the behaviour (or at least tries to):
<RequestInterceptor className="org.apache.tomcat.request.AccessInterceptor"
/>
I've tried to define the windows login credentials in tomcat-users.xml,
allow the actual Tomcat service to run as that user etc etc. Nothing helps.
Can't log in.
<security-constraint>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>Protected Area</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>/server/*</url-pattern>
</web-resource-collection>
<auth-constraint>
<role-name>mbxadmin</role-name>
</auth-constraint>
</security-constraint>
<!-- Default login configuration uses BASIC authentication
<login-config>
<auth-method>BASIC</auth-method>
<realm-name>Basic Authentication Area</realm-name>
</login-config>
How can I instruct win 2000 (or Tomcat) to override the OS specific
behaviour?
Any input on this would be much appreciated.
