Hi, I looked at several tomcat configurations, and found that there are a couple of things that do not "agree" with Tomcat's documentation (this is taken from http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/realm-howto.html tomcat-5.5 realm how-to documentation ):
The users file (by default, conf/tomcat-users.xml must be an XML document, with a root element <tomcat-users>. Nested inside the root element will be a <user> element for each valid user, consisting of the following attributes: * name - Username this user must log on with. * password - Password this user must log on with (in clear text if the digest attribute was not set on the <Realm> element, or digested appropriately as described here otherwise). * roles - Comma-delimited list of the role names associated with this user. However, on several "real-world" tomcat-users.xml files, things don't go according to plan: 1. <user> element sometimes has a 'username' attribute - is this identical to 'name' attribute, or are there differences between these two? 2. Sometimes, not only <user> elements are nested inside the <tomcat-users> element, but also a <role> element. Is there documentation of these elements' structure (possible attributes, etc.) ?
