hi everybody,
can anyone please tell me how form authentication in tomcat 4 b7 works?
so far i was using basic auth. without a problem.
for some reasons i must use custom form auth. , so i decided to configure my
tomcat for form auth type.
however i am having problems, and i can't find any docs about this.
let me make my situation more clear:
in tomcat/conf/web.xml i defined form type auth. as follows:
<login-config>
<auth-method>form</auth-method>
<form-login-config>
<form-login-page>/login.jsp</form-login-page>
<form-error-page>/error.html</form-error-page>
</form-login-config>
</login-config>
where login.jsp is located under root directory.
in tomcat/conf/tomcat-users.xml i added a user 'any' for
anonymus access with a role 'any' as follows:
<tomcat-users>
<user name="yilmaz" password="ay" roles="sman" />
<user name="yilmazay" password="ay" roles="admn,memb" />
<user name="member" password="member" roles="memb" />
<user name="any" password="any" roles="any" />
</tomcat-users>
i am using jdbc realm for authentication with a mysql at the backend.
i don't think there is a problem with mysql, because it was working
perfectly
till now for basic type auth.
in addition i defined form type authen. in root/web-inf/web.xml, too.
i checked my logs, here is the related part:
WebappLoader[]: Deploying class repositories to work directory
