Hi All, Thanks for the previous help. I was able to successfully create a JDBC Realm using MySQL, construct a small test app, and deploy it to geronimo. I had a few issues with my geronimo-web.xml, but eventually figured it out:)
I have a few additional questions which are more development than container related. 1. How would one programmatically authenticate a user within a Realm? For instance, if one had a main menu logon page and wanted to programmatically authenticate the user so that later traversal into a realm protected resource would not require an additional authentication dialog from the containers declarative security. 2. Does anyone have a methodology to succesfully integrated httpd server and geronimo server authentication? mod_auth_mysql can be used in the httpd server with the same database of users and roles that are utilized in a JDBC Security Realm. Can the mod_jk be configured in any manner to pass through user identities that have been authenticated in the httpd server? Will the httpd server place the user id and role information in the http metadata to be extracted progamatically and utilized by the answer to Q1? Just a few musings on single sign-on:) Thanks to all in advance! Mark Aufdencamp [EMAIL PROTECTED]
