I assume you are talking about a virtual web directory? I just did this using JNDI and OpenLDAP using the <Realm> tag inside the server.xml file. But you can also do this using a JDBC Realm or the simple way (similar to the .htaccess) file, by using an in-process Memory realm. Read the docs on the links below, as they give examples on all 3 methods.
This is the file you want to edit for using the MemoryRealm: $CATALINA_HOME/conf/tomcat-users.xml http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/realm- howto.html Regards, Jeremy ---- Original message ---- >Date: Thu, 11 Apr 2002 20:16:54 -0400 (Eastern Daylight Time) >From: David Gladstone <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: password protection >To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >i am trying to figure out how to password protect a directory. i am >realativly new to tomcat. i know it its very easy to do in apache with an >.htaccess file. but how do i go about doing it in tomcat ? > >-dave > > >-- >To unsubscribe: <mailto:tomcat-user- [EMAIL PROTECTED]> >For additional commands: <mailto:tomcat-user- [EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Troubles with the list: <mailto:tomcat-user- [EMAIL PROTECTED]> > -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Troubles with the list: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
