I am using tomcat 5.0.27 this is the part of the content in web.xml (/manager). I could move further when the <role-name> * </role-name> in http://localhost:8080/manager/html if i specify the particular name an <role-name> manager </role-name> in the same URL i am getting the error as HTTP Status 403. what i have to do to proceed further by specifying the particular rolename with out mentioning *.
Note: 1) for u clarification i have commented as prakash. 2) if i change it as BASIC authentication it's working fine in both scenario i want to do it in DIGEST Authentication. <auth-constraint> <!-- NOTE: This role is not present in the default users file --> <!-- <role-name>*</role-name> prakash --> <role-name>admin</role-name> <!-- added by prakash --> <role-name>manager</role-name> <realm-name>Tomcat Manager Application</realm-name> </auth-constraint> </security-constraint> <!-- Define the Login Configuration for this Application --> <login-config> <auth-method>DIGEST</auth-method> <realm-name>Tomcat Manager Application</realm-name> </login-config> <!-- Security roles referenced by this web application --> <security-role> <description> The role that is required to log in to the Manager Application </description> <!-- <role-name>admin</role-name> added by prakash --> <role-name>manager</role-name> </security-role> Prakash -----Original Message----- From: vineesh kumar [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 16, 2006 10:31 AM To: Tomcat Users List; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Users Simply edit TOMCAT_INSTALLDIR/conf/tomcat-users.xml and add the username and passowrd and role role can be admin, manager,user etc u can specify more than one role also.
