Hello: Sorry if this has been addressed already but I am having difficulty adding remote host valves to my manager and admin web apps in Tomcat 5.0.30 on Win2K .
Adding a valve to manager.xml or simply uncommenting the example remote host valve for the admin web app in the admin.xml does not work. I restart the tomcat service after each xml configuration changes. I have used double and single quotes around the IP address. Is there any additional configuration required -maybe in the server.xml that has been ommitted from the documentation? Here is the context from my admin.xml <Context path="/admin" docBase="${catalina.home}/server/webapps/admin" debug="0" privileged="true"> <!-- Uncomment this Valve to limit access to the Admin app to localhost for obvious security reasons. Allow may be a comma-separated list of hosts (or even regular expressions). --> <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.RemoteAddrValve" allow='127.0.0.1'/> <Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger" prefix="localhost_admin_log." suffix=".txt" timestamp="true"/> </Context> Thanks
