Here's how to do this for the SOAP servlet.
Other servlets should be similar.
On the client, set the username and password for the HTTP
connection. For Apache SOAP, this is:
SOAPHTTPConnection connection = new SOAPHTTPConnection();
connection.setMaintainSession( true );
connection.setUserName("myuser");
connection.setPassword("mypassword");
call.setSOAPTransport(connection);
//...
Or if you're using Microsoft STK 2.0
ISoapConnectorPtr pConnector; // smart pointer
pConnector.CreateInstance(__uuidof(HttpConnector));
pConnector->Property["AuthUser" ] = _variant_t( "myuser" );
pConnector->Property["AuthPassword" ] = _variant_t( "mypassword" );
//...
On the server (running Tomcat), enable basic HTTP authentication
on a per-service basis by adding this to
$CATALINA_HOME/webapps/<service>/WEB-INF/web.xml:
<security-constraint>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>Protected Area</web-resource-name>
<!-- Define the context-relative URL(s) to be protected -->
<url-pattern>/servlet/rpcrouter</url-pattern>
<!-- If you list http methods, only those methods are protected
-->
<http-method>DELETE</http-method>
<http-method>GET</http-method>
<http-method>POST</http-method>
<http-method>PUT</http-method>
</web-resource-collection>
<auth-constraint>
<!-- Anyone with one of the listed roles may access this area
-->
<role-name>tomcat</role-name>
</auth-constraint>
</security-constraint>
<!-- Default login configuration uses BASIC authentication -->
<login-config>
<auth-method>BASIC</auth-method>
<realm-name>Example Basic Authentication Area</realm-name>
</login-config>
If you're not using a realm plug-in, then usernames and
passwords live in $CATALINA_HOME/conf/tomcat-users.xml.
Here's what it might look like for the above example:
<tomcat-users>
<user name="tomcat" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat" />
<user name="role1" password="tomcat" roles="role1" />
<user name="both" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat,role1" />
<user name="myuser" password="mypassword" roles="tomcat" />
</tomcat-users>
Hope that gets you going...
