Thank-you Konstantin...I think I was misled by some postings I read while
searching, that referred to specifying either hex or base64 in the realm
configuration.
This time, I left out the digestEncoding attribute altogether, reducing the
<Realm> tag in context.xml to the following:
<Realm
className="org.apache.catalina.realm.JDBCRealm" debug="99"
driverName="org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver"
connectionURL="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/<databasename>?user=<username>&am
p;password=<userpassword>"
userTable="users"
userNameCol="id"
userCredCol="passwd"
userRoleTable="userroles"
roleNameCol="role"
digest="MD5"/>
The purpose underlying the question was to authenticate against my MySQL
database. I was failing under the following conditions:
Password digested at browser using SHA-1
Password stored in table as base64-encoded SHA-1 digest
I succeeded under the following conditions:
Password digested at browser using MD5
Password stored in table as MD5 digest without encoding
Now I just need to find out which of the modifications fixed my fault.
Cheers,
Etienne

http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/api/org/apache/catalina/realm/RealmB
ase.html
says it is "The encoding charset for the digest." -- note the "charset" word
So "ISO-8859-1" might be good?
If not set (null) it defaults to the platform default charset.
