so in one connection string you have user and in the Realm you're using userName?
-----Original Message----- From: Richard Sayre [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 13, 2007 12:42 PM To: users@tomcat.apache.org Subject: Tomcat 6, SQL Server 2005 JDBC Realm not working I have a web app that connects to my SQL Server 2005 Database with no trouble using this code: Class.forName("com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver"); con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:sqlserver://server-2006;databaseName=v362;user=user;password=dbase"); My application runs fine and I can see data from the database. Now when I try to set up a Realm to do Database authentication I get an error: <Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.JDBCRealm" debug="99" driverName="com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver" connectionURL="jdbc:sqlserver://server-2006;databaseName=v362;userName=user;password=dbase" connectionName="user" connectionPassword="dbase" digest="SHA" userTable="PPMUser" userNameCol="UserName" userCredCol="UserPassword" userRoleTable="PPMUser" roleNameCol="RoleTomcat" /> Exception: 13-Jun-2007 3:56:00 PM org.apache.catalina.realm.JDBCRealm authenticate SEVERE: Exception performing authentication java.sql.SQLException: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver at org.apache.catalina.realm.JDBCRealm.open(JDBCRealm.java:691) at org.apache.catalina.realm.JDBCRealm.authenticate(JDBCRealm.java:346) at org.apache.catalina.authenticator.BasicAuthenticator.authenticate(BasicAuthenticator.java:181) at org.apache.catalina.authenticator.AuthenticatorBase.invoke(AuthenticatorBase.java:491) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHostValve.invoke(StandardHostValve.java:128) at org.apache.catalina.valves.ErrorReportValve.invoke(ErrorReportValve.java:104) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngineValve.invoke(StandardEngineValve.java:109) at org.apache.catalina.connector.CoyoteAdapter.service(CoyoteAdapter.java:261) at org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Processor.process(Http11Processor.java:844) at org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol$Http11ConnectionHandler.process(Http11Protocol.java:581) at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.JIoEndpoint$Worker.run(JIoEndpoint.java:447) at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source) The strange thing is, if I set up a DSN under Windows and use the Sun ODBC driver the authentication realm works: <Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.JDBCRealm" debug="99" driverName="sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver" connectionURL="jdbc:odbc:v362" connectionName="user" connectionPassword="dbase" digest="SHA" userTable="User" userNameCol="UserName" userCredCol="UserPassword" userRoleTable="User" roleNameCol="RoleTomcat" /> Does any one have this type of authentication working with MS SQL Server 2005 JDBC driver under Tomcat 6?
