Does anyone know if the DIGEST authentication is supported by Tomcat 5? I have been trying to get it working with a Tomcat 5.0.24 on Windows and the default UserDatabase, but have not been completely successful. The authentication of a user seems to work OK (with the browser dialog being and so), but the principal is not available and probably the roles are not set and also I still get a
HTTP Status 403 - Access to the requested resource has been denied With the same configuration, changing only the method from DIGEST to BASIC works without problems.
