Hi Rainer,

I am using Tomcat -5.5.12 and this is what I have in my server.xml
configuration for http:

    <!-- Define a SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8443 -->
    <!--
    <Connector port="64083" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"
               maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75"
               enableLookups="false" disableUploadTimeout="true"
               acceptCount="100" scheme="https" secure="true"
               clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS" />
    -->


I could not lookup for the attribute tomcatAuthentication in the
configuration however.
