It is easy to get this to work in Tomcat, Jetty should be similar... In Tomcat all you nee is two things:
1. A JDBC realm defined in server.xml <Realm debug="1" className="org.apache.catalina.realm.JDBCRealm" connectionURL="jdbc:postgresql://db.host.path/device" connectionName="db_user" connectionPassword="db_pass" driverName="org.postgresql.Driver" roleNameCol="role" userCredCol="password" userNameCol="username" userRoleTable="authentication_table" userTable="authentication_table"/> 2. A role in web.xml </security-constraint> <login-config> <auth-method>BASIC</auth-method> <realm-name>My App</realm-name> </login-config> <security-role> <description>Users</description> <role-name>user</role-name> </security-role> I recall jetty is similar but used an external properties file, there is also a directive you can try if you use Maven: In your pom try: <userRealms> <userRealm implementation="org.mortbay.jetty.security.JDBCUserRealm"> <name> Authentication JDBC Realm </name> <config>some_properties_file</config> </userRealm> </userRealms> but I have not used this before.

App works just fine without any of the following - but after adding the below, I'm getting an error and I'm not sure what I'm missing. The error sure looks like it is *partly* working ... "FORBIDDEN" but the browser is NOT prompting me with a browser popup defined by <auth-method>BASIC</auth-method>. Thoughts? Thanks, -Luther HTTP ERROR 403 Problem accessing /notebook/Home.
