Here's the case where three credentials are necessary: there is a requirement to host multiple applications on a single database, and data such as users are in a single, shared table. Therefore, someone logging into app A would enter username and password of user1 and pass1, and someone else logging into app B could also enter username as password user1 and pass1, but still be two separate entities.
In the single database, the authentication table would have [User,Pass,App] as (user1,pass1,A), and (user1,pass1,B), which are two different and unrelated records. So even though the users are only entering two credentials into their respective applications' user interfaces, the application itself authenticates with Tomcat using three credentials. How could I make this work? The requirement doesn't accept having two tables (i.e. userTableA and userTableB), partly because increased maintenance, the possibility of table definitions going out of sync, etc. Thanks.
