I've read this doc:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/realm-howto.html#Digested%20Passwords
But I cannot get it to authenticate.
I'm putting the digested password for myusers into tomcat-users.xml as
directed.
One problem is that it's not at all clear what the realm is--
Is the realm the <realm-name> specified in the <login-config> in
web.xml? (eg "Tomcat Manager Application") Or something else? The
docs (link above) suggest "localhost:80" might be the realm, but that
makes no sense to me, as this would tie it to a specific port.
<login-config>
<auth-method>BASIC</auth-method>
<realm-name>Tomcat Manager Application</realm-name>
</login-config>
The book I have -- "Tomcat, The Definitive Guide, 2nd Edition" is in
conflict with the above documentation, making no mention of digesting
with the username and realm. The book suggest doing:
bin/digest.sh -a MD5 user-password
But the tomcat 6 docs referenced above suggest doing:
bin/digest.sh -a MD5 username:realm-name:password
--obviously very different approaches!
