With the lack of reply's I guess that Active directory connections are not used
by anyone here.
I'm making it a bit more simple then and in step one only protect this service
with a simple login / password protection.
Setup: One separate engine only accepting HTTPS connections that needs to be
protected.
I have set up a ""org.apache.catalina.realm.MemoryRealm" realm with a xml file
with one user, password and group in my server.xml section for the engine I'm
protecting.
So far so good.
Then I got everything to work when editing <webapp>/WEB-INF/web.xml and added
the following:
<security-constraint>
<display-name>Security check</display-name>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>Protected Area</web-resource-name>
<!-- Define the context-relative URL(s) to be protected -->
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
<!-- If you list http methods, only those methods are protected -->
<http-method>DELETE</http-method>
<http-method>GET</http-method>
<http-method>POST</http-method>
<http-method>PUT</http-method>
</web-resource-collection>
<auth-constraint>
<!-- Anyone with one of the listed roles may access this area -->
<role-name>testgroup</role-name>
</auth-constraint>
</security-constraint>
<login-config>
<auth-method>BASIC</auth-method>
<realm-name>Security Check</realm-name>
</login-config>
That worked great, the login box appears and are not accessible without the
correct logon.
BUT the problem is that this webapp is delivered by a 3:rd party without the
above settings in there web.xml file.
We get regular updates and I would like to NOT be forced to remember to add the
above section every time we get a new release of the webapp.
So how can I make this Engine/webapp in the server.xml file be protected by one
simple login WITHOUT the need to modify the webapp itself every time we get a
new version of the webapp?
