Anonymous authentication is an additional feature that you need to create in your web application. It doesn't come by default in any app servers. So there is no need to disable it when configuring Tomcat.
There is a good article in JavaWorld discussing about anonymous authentication in J2EE. http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-03-2005/jw-0307-captcha.html ND -----Original Message----- From: Aydın Toprak [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, February 13, 2006 4:27 AM To: users@tomcat.apache.org Subject: Tomcat, Security, Anonymous Authentication Hi, I have a question about the security issue that I have to cover of my server.
