Hi andy! As in the HOW-TO described you need two tables, one table 'users' that holds the username and the password, and one table that holds the username and the roles the user is given (it is a mapping from users to roles). My database has also two tables, but the first table holds username, password AND roles, and the second table only is a collection of role names, assigned with an id. So my tables look like this:
table users username(login) | password | roleid ---------------------------------------- peter | secret | 0 andy | terces | 1 table roles id | rolename -------------------- 0 | admin 1 | someuser I tried several combinations of tables/columnnames in my realm config, but none worked.

Change your server.xml in a way so that the role elements reference the role table and not users table. HTH - andy [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all! I have got a question regarding setup of a JBDCRealm. I read the HOW-TO on Tomcat homepage, and I am wondering about the database structure. I have an existing application, and the database it uses has got a table 'users' with the follwing columns: login, password, roleid,... where the roleid is a foreign key to the table 'roles' which has columns 'id' and 'rolename'. It is sufficient for me because every user can only have one role. Is there a way to use this database structure with JDBCRealm? Or do I have to add more tables as described in the HOW-TO? My database structure already contains all information, so it would be overhead to produce an extra table, I think. I tried the following: debug="99" driverName="org.postgresql.Driver" connectionURL="jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/ testwebapp?user=login&password=pwd" userTable="users" userNameCol="login" userCredCol="password" userRoleTable="users" roleNameCol="roleid" /> but I got problems on roleNameCol="roleid". How can I get the rolename from table roles? Perhaps I missed something, and someone has an idea.
