In server.xml, I'm not exactly sure what MD2 is. I know what MD5 is, and it's clear that your passwords in tomcat-users.xml are clear text.
Try removing digest= from Realm and restart. -----Original Message----- From: Michael Simpson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 14, 2004 7:08 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: administration webapp Hello list. Just joined the list and I'm very new to Tomcat. I have a problem accessing the administration webapp and manager webapp links from the default Tomcat home page. The following is listed on the home page: NOTE: For security reasons, using the administration webapp is restricted to users with role "admin". The manager webapp is restricted to users with role "manager". Users are defined in $CATALINA_HOME/conf/tomcat-users.xml. This is the code from tomcat_users.xml : <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?> <tomcat-users> <role rolename="tomcat"/> <role rolename="role1"/> <user username="tomcat" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat"/> <user username="role1" password="tomcat" roles="role1"/> <user username="both" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat,role1"/> <user username="express" password="thames" roles="manager,admin"/> </tomcat-users> And this is a snippet from server.xml : <Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.MemoryRealm" debug="99" digest="MD2" /> I've looked at the manuals, etc. but it just does not seem to work - access always fails. Can anyone see the obvious mistake here. Thanks in advance. ---------------------------------------------- Michael Simpson Systems Development Express Newspapers mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 020-7922-7225 (w) 020-7922-7799 (f) ---------------------------------------------- The NMA: Opening Up Newspapers http://www.nmauk.co.uk Visit Express Newspapers and OK Magazine online picture archive at http://www.expresspictures.com/ ###2004### ________________________________________ Any views or opinions are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of Express Newspapers ________________________________________ The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.If you are not the intended recipient of this message please do not read ,copy, use or disclose this communication and notify the sender immediately.
