I am trying to use the Tomcat facility ( on Windows Server) that restricts
Web Access to an ip address - in our case I want the Tomcat Manager
application to be available
only from a Web Browser on the Tomcat server itself.
I have updated the file Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat
5.5\server\webapps\manager
<Context docBase="${catalina.home}/server/webapps/manager"
privileged="true" antiResourceLocking="false"
antiJARLocking="false">
<!-- Link to the user database we will get roles from -->
<ResourceLink name="users" global="UserDatabase"
type="org.apache.catalina.UserDatabase"/>
<Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.remoteAddrValve"
allow="127.0.0.1"/>
</Context>
However it does not have any effect. I can still remotely access the
Manager application
When I try to move( as documented by Tomcat) the Context definition into
the Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\conf\server.xml
definition, I get a ClassNotFound java exception for
org.apache.catalina.valves.remoteAddrValve in the bootstrap process - I
checked the class is located in Program Files\Apache Software
Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\server\lib\catalina-optional.jar.
Because its the bootstrap process I guess the Classloader process may not
be initialized fully. I tried to add the Jar file in the Windows CLASSPATH
variable without success.
Many thks for anybody's help !
Attached the logged error when context with valve is added to the
server.xml file
