I'd like to set up a Realm which gets it's authentication information using Kerberos, specifically Open Directory running under OS X Server 10.3.9. For initial testing, I'm running Tomcat 5.5.7 on the same machine (the copy the comes with NetBeans 4.1), and setting CATALINA_BASE to a directory of mine. I can run Tomcat fine from my CATALINA_BASE, and configuration changes are being seen by Tomcat. The JAAS Kerberos example (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guids/security/jgss/tutorials/ AcnONly.html) is able to authorize against my Open Directory server with no problems.

After reading the Tomcat docs, _Tomcat: The Definitive Guide_, and Wendy Smoak's examples at http://wiki.wsmoak.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?TomcatKerberosConfigOnly, I configured a Realm in server.xml as follows:

      <Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.JAASRealm"
userClassNames="javax.security.auth.kerberos.KerberosPrincipal" roleClassNames="javax.security.auth.kerberos.KerberosPrincipal"
             useContextClassLoader="true"
             debug="99"
      />

I created .java.login.config in my home directory:

Tomcat {
    com.sun.security.auth.module.Krb5LoginModule required debug=true;
};

my script to start Tomcat is:

#! /bin/bash

export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/Home

export CATALINA_HOME=/Applications/NetBeans4.1.app/Contents/Resources/ NetBeans/enterprise1/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.7

export CATALINA_BASE=$PWD

export JAVA_OPTS=-Djava.security.krb5.realm=TONKUNST.SOM.OHIO-STATE.EDU -Djava.security.krb5.kdc=tonkunst.som.ohio-state.edu -Djava.security.auth.login.config=$HOME/.java.login.config

$CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh


Tomcat comes up without any errors, but whenever I try to access any servlet that requires authentication, the following error shows up in Tomcat's output:

javax.security.auth.login.LoginException: No LoginModules configured for Catalina

Although the browser puts up a password entry dialog, entering a valid username/password combination just results in the dialog coming back, signalling a failed authorization.

I get the same results when I try moving .java.login.config to CATALINA_HOME/conf and updating java.security.auth.login.config in the login script accordingly. (if I misspell the file name in setting java.security.auth.login.config, Tomcat complains about the missing file, so I know it's finding the .java.login.conf file.
