Re: BASIC Authentication for Custom Realm

[Mark Thomas]

Based on my own experience, the quickest way to work out what is 
happening will be to debug your way through it. See the FAQ for how to 
set this up: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/faq/development.html

Hi All,
I am trying to write a custom realm for my web application. I have added the
realm in the sever.xml file as below:
<Realm className="com.web.tomcat.security.CustomRealm" debug="0"/>
and I had the following entries in my web.xml file.
        <security-constraint>
                <web-resource-collection>
                        <web-resource-name>webfiles</web-resource-name>
                        <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
                </web-resource-collection>
                <auth-constraint>
                        <role-name>everyone</role-name>
                </auth-constraint>
        </security-constraint>
        <login-config>
                <auth-method>BASIC</auth-method>
                <realm-name>CustomRealm</realm-name>
        </login-config>
        <security-role>
                <role-name>everyone</role-name>
        </security-role>
When I access a page in my app, I'm expecting to get a Login Dialog box
that's provided by the web browser. But it doesn't happen, when I try to
access a web page.
If I remove my custom realm entry in the server.xml, the login dialog
appears. Has the appearance of the Login Dialog got to do anything with the
Realm? 

Can someone please let me know what's going wrong here?
Thanks,
Kalyan.
