Hi,

I am having problem with Tomcat 5.5.17 jsp example of accessing protected pages
(example:  http://localhost:8080/jsp-examples/security/protected/)

Logging with valid user and role: user/password/role="tomcat/tomcat/tomcat" works fine. Logging with a valid user and invalid role (user/password/role="role1/tomcat/role1") results in msg 403
(HTTP Status 403 - Access to the requested resource has been denied).
I am using supplied tomcat-users.xml.

Before experimenting I made this role (role1) invalid by editing webapps/jsp-examples/WEB-INF/web.xml file like:
...
<auth-constraint>
 <role-name>tomcat</role-name>
 <!-- role-name>role1</role-name -->
</auth-constraint>
...

After receiving msg 403 applicatin will not work even with the valid user role (msg 403 produced).

I found the same problem for Tomcat4 reported at:
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/tomcat-dev/200204.mbox/[EMAIL 
PROTECTED]

I also have seen somewhere that it was reported to be fixed for Tomcat4.

Did the old problem penetrate to Tomcat 5.5.17 or
did I forget to configure something?

Regards,
Val.
