Title: Re: Authentication Problems
Hello,
     I am new to Tomcat, and am currently having some problems running it with Slide.  Running Tomcat 3.2.1 and Slide m8 I've now been able to get the authorization box to pop up when I access my local http://localhost:8080/slide URL.  Unfortunately, I cannot seem to login correctly. 
    I have added the users "root" and "john" to the system to correspond to the users noted in Slide's "Domain.xml."  (I think that is what I am supposed to do.)  And I have changed my "tomcat-users.xml" to look like this...
                                            <tomcat-users>
                                                  <user name="tomcat" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat,john,root" />
                                                  <user name="role1"  password="tomcat" roles="role1"  />
                                                  <user name="both"   password="tomcat" roles="tomcat,role1" />
 
                                                  <user name="root"   password="root"   roles="tomcat,role1" />  
                                                  <user name="john"   password="john"   roles="tomcat,role1" />
                                             </tomcat-users>
 
The "Domain.xml" I have not edited at all, it is the standard one that comes with Slide.  It has sections that look like this, which I'm not  sure you are familiar with...
                                            <objectnode classname="slideroles.basic.RootRoleImpl" uri="/users/root">
                                                <revision>
                                                    <property name="password">root</property>
                                                </revision>
                                            </objectnode>
                                            <objectnode classname="slideroles.basic.RootRoleImpl" uri="/users/john">
                                                <revision>
                                                    <property name="password">john</property>
                                                </revision>
                                            </objectnode>
 
 
After restarting the Tomcat server, I still cannot login as anybody except tomcat/tomcat.  All other logins fail to work, even the basic role1/tomcat and both/tomcat that come with the system.  And when I do log in as tomcat/tomcat, it tells me I am not allowed to view the page.                                  "15 Mar 2001 14:30:30 - WARNING - Access denied on / by user tomcat for action /actions/read"
 
I can log into the examples page with any of the three standard ones that are in Tomcat-users.xml, but none of the others (i.e john, root)
I would like to be able to log in as john or root.  I would also like to be able to see the URL once I log in.  Could you tell me what I am missing here?, or what else I need to do to get this stuff working? 
Thanks very much for you help,
Tom
