Thank you for your responses. Well, I was a bit lost in the specs but
after looking up <transport-guarantee> I got what I
wanted. Out of curiosity though what should I do to add tomcat user
authentication?
I tried adding:
<security-constraint>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>search</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>/ch13/search/*</url-pattern>
</web-resource-collection>
<user-data-constraint>
<transport-guarantee>CONFIDENTIAL</transport-guarantee>
</user-data-constraint>
<!-- add here -->
<auth-constraint>
<role-name>admin</role-name>
</auth-constraint>
<!-- end add -->
</security-constraint>
but tomcat, while asking me to log in, and I did, denied access to the
resource. Without the addition I get the https encryption
that I require.
