Jerome,
No. No username (in /var/log/httpd/access.log) for the requests to access pages served by my servlets.
This to me sounds worth investigating. If you have correctly set up authentication on the URL of your servlet, then succesfully authenticated requests for this URL should appear in your Apache log, complete with the username that was provided. (assuming you are using the default logging format)
Back to the basics here. If the above is not working, I suspect that the basic configuration of Apache's authentication is not correct.
Morgan,
thanks a lot for your email. I found out the reason for my problem, and your list of questions helped me to identify the problem.
Here was my entry:
<Location /jira> # HTTP Basic Authentication AuthType Basic AuthName "BBC - Jira access" AuthUserFile /var/www/passwd/passwords AuthGroupFile /var/www/passwd/groups # Require group bbc </Location>
I had commented out the Require directive. I don't know I must have done that a long time ago when facing another problem (the one involving setting tomcatAuthentication to false) and since I perhaps assumed that by definining all the Auth directives, there would be some kind of default Require....
Too bad this wasn't spotted in my first post where I had copied this down in my mail. But doesn't matter it is now fixed.
Thanks a lot. If you pass by Oslo, Norway, let me buy you a drink.
Jerome.
