Hi,
I am very new to the aforementioned subject. As hinted in subject, I
am trying to set up a web application using form authentication.
I have set up server.xml according to the steps specified at
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/realm-howto.html
for JDBCRealm
For the application, I have followed the instructions at
http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2001/08/06/webform.html
The problem I am experiencing is that when I try to access the page I
have specified in web.xml as secure, I get to that page - I am not
redirected to the login page that I specified in web.xml.
I've had someone else look at web.xml and they say that's not where
the problem lies. So I'm wondering if the problem is with server.xml.
Can anyone give a newbie some pointers as to where to look to diagnose
and fix this problem?
Thank you in advance for your help.
You'll need to post the relevant sections of your web.xml, your
server.xml and the URL of the protected resource. If you don't see the
login form an error in web.xml is most likely.

Hi,
Here's a part of my web.xml:
<security-role>
<description>user</description>
<role-name>user</role-name>
</security-role>
<!-- Login Authentication -->
<security-constraint>
<display-name>Secure User Pages</display-name>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>SecureUserPages</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>/index.jsp</url-pattern>
<url-pattern>/welcome.jsp</url-pattern>
</web-resource-collection>
<auth-constraint>
<description>user</description>
<role-name>user</role-name>
</auth-constraint>
</security-constraint>
<login-config>
<auth-method>FORM</auth-method>
<form-login-config>
<form-login-page>/login.jsp</form-login-page>
<form-error-page>/loginError.jsp</form-error-page>
</form-login-config>
</login-config>
Inside the Engine element of server.xml, I have:
<Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.JDBCRealm" debug="99"
driverName="org.postgresql.Driver"
connectionURL="jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/thedb?user=theuser
&password=thepw"
digest="MD5"
userTable="users" userNameCol="username"
userCredCol="password"
userRoleTable="user_roles" roleNameCol="rolename" />
The Connector element in server.xml:
<Connector port="8888"
...
The URL is
http://hostname:8888/appname/jsp/welcome.jsp
(For reasons of confidentiality, I had to replace the name of the
database with "thedb", user with "theuser", password with "thepw", host
with "hostname", application name with "appname" before posting. Please
let me know if this poses a problem.)
Thanks in advance,
CC
