It means that on whichever database you are using to store your authentication information you need to create a user id and password for Tomcat to connect to it and then read the information.
Your database doc. will give instructions on creating user/pass on it. For eg. you can create user/password as tcuser/mypassword. You then need to configure a Datasource in Tomcat which can be used by Tomcat to connect to this database and read the proper tables for authentication. Read the Datasource related docs. http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/realm.html These instructions are for authentication information stored in a relational database that can be accessed by proper JDBC driver an example would be MySQL. If you are storing authentication information in LDAP server then read that section. -Sameer --- On Tue, 7/22/08, Carol Cheung <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > From: Carol Cheung <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: DataSourceRealm documentation > To: "Tomcat Users List" <users@tomcat.apache.org> > Date: Tuesday, July 22, 2008, 3:07 AM > Hi, > > I'm reading about DataSourceRealm at > http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/realm-howto.html > and step 2 under "Quick Start" is confusing. > > It says "Configure a database username and password > for use by Tomcat ..." > What does this mean?
