http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11678 JNDIRealm times out/prompts for password with BASIC authentication ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2002-10-09 20:21 ------- I've noticed this bug with tomcat 4.1.12 as well. I believe this is because the ldap server timesout the connection after some time if there is no activity from the ldap client. Once the timeout occurs, if a user tries to browse a url that requires authentication, the bind operation in ldap fails as ldap connection is invalid and JNDIRealm class throws a javax.naming.CommunicationException. This results in authentication failure and user is prompted for authentication again. This is quite irritating to the user. When user types in uid/password second time, a new ldap connection is created and authentication succeeds. I think the solution is to detect ldap connection timeout in JNDIRealm and make a new connection if necessary and then perform the bind for authentication. Hope this bug gets fixed. -nagraj -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
