Dear colleagues, I'm trying to use Tomcat Realms as authentication source _specifically for Tomcat Manager and Host Manager_.
Short problem description: it doesn't work. Long problem description: Tomcat even _doesn't try to initialise MySQL connection_ -- I removed MySQL Connector/J for testing purposes, and Tomcat hasn't given _ever any warning_ to me, besides of existence of JDBC Realm in server.xml. 1. Yes, I do have fresh installation of Tomcat. 2. Yes, I do have Sun Java 2 EE v1.6.0.3 pl4 -- the latest one. 3. Yes, I have read Tomcat docs and have searched Google. Nothing helps: all Google search results refers me either to UserDatabase Realm and conf/tomcat-users.xml (that is obviously works well -- I've tested it) or to realm authentication for THIRD-PARTY applications, that I'm not interested in. Resource definitions: === conf/server.xml === <Server port="8005" shutdown="SHUTDOWN"> [ . . . . . . . . ] <!-- Global JNDI resources Documentation at /docs/jndi-resources-howto.html --> <GlobalNamingResources> <!-- Editable user database that can also be used by UserDatabaseRealm to authenticate users --> <Resource name="UserDatabase" auth="Container" type="org.apache.catalina.UserDatabase" description="User database that can be updated and saved" factory="org.apache.catalina.users.MemoryUserDatabaseFactory" pathname="conf/tomcat-users.xml" /> <Resource name="jdbc/auth" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource" driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" url="jdbc:mysql://host.domain.tld/database_name" username="db_username" password="db_password" maxActive="8" maxIdle="4" /> </GlobalNamingResources> <!-- A "Service" is a collection of one or more "Connectors" that share a single "Container" Note: A "Service" is not itself a "Container", so you may not define subcomponents such as "Valves" at this level. Documentation at /docs/config/service.html --> <Service name="Catalina"> [ . . . . . . . . ] <Engine name="Catalina" defaultHost="localhost"> [ . . . . . . . . ] <!-- Use the LockOutRealm to prevent attempts to guess user passwords via a brute-force attack --> <Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.LockOutRealm"> <!-- This Realm uses the UserDatabase configured in the global JNDI resources under the key "UserDatabase". Any edits that are performed against this UserDatabase are immediately available for use by the Realm. --> <Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.UserDatabaseRealm" resourceName="UserDatabase" /> <Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.DataSourceRealm" dataSourceName="jdbc/auth" userTable="users" userNameCol="user" userCredCol="password" userRoleTable="roles" roleNameCol="role" /> </Realm> [ . . . . . . . . ] </Engine> </Service> </Server> === Once more: there're no log errors and even there're no log _warnings_ after Tomcat is started by me and I'm making an attempt to use Tomcat Manager. Tomcat gives me HTTP Basic Authentication window in my Web browser, I'm entering login and password in it, and authentication fails. No log errors/warnings given. Not even in a case I have removed (!) mysql-connector-java.jar. So, what am I doing wrong? -- Yours Andrew Kolchoogin. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
