The standard Tomcat realms are fairly simple in the feedback they can give the rest of the container (and therefore your webapp): they basically give a fail-or-succeed return value with no information about the failure if there was one. If you want to get more information, you'll have to at least customize a Realm for yourself or, possibly, use a different authentication system like Spring Security (which I haven't actually used) or securityfilter (which I have used, though it's getting kind of long in the tooth). - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.17 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk9K8DAACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PAuPwCgmbrDFQZKQEyeVR63pAIza2XQ VeIAoLyu8WbZsZ0yDW5VWjTiQ9T7dNkS =FCwY -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
