Ah, okay. Thank you! Also, what I would like to achieve is to have a secure jmxproxy servlet for "set" operations. But have no authentication and authorization for get operations. I tried might to "tighten" only the "set" operations of the "jmxproxy" servlet by modifying manager/WEB-INF/web.xml as follows, and it didn't work. I actually tried the url-pattern below with "/jmxproxy/?get*", but I was still able to query successfully without a "401 Unauthorized" failure. So I figured that I may not be using the right pattern. A url-pattern of "/jmxproxy/*" does return a 401 Unauthorized error message on "get".
-------snippet from manager/web.xml:----- <security-constraint> <web-resource-collection> <web-resource-name>JMX Proxy interface</web-resource-name> <url-pattern>/jmxproxy/?set*</url-pattern> </web-resource-collection> <auth-constraint> <role-name>manager-jmx</role-name> </auth-constraint> </security-constraint> -----end of snippet---- I am further restricting who may access the manager application in "conf/Catalina/localhost/manager.xml" to localhost: ----manager.xml:---- <Context path="/manager" privileged="true" docBase="/opt/tomcat/mgmt/apache/webapps/manager"> <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.RemoteAddrValve" allow="127\.0\.0\.1"/> </Context> ------------- So I can somehow secure the "set" but open up the "get" and "qry", I will be in happy curl-land.
