Hi again. So, my boss told me that it's insecure to give anyone the password to view tomcat's logs and that should be an authentication based on Active Directory.
I've been reading the manuals for some time, and configured my Tomcat the following way: $CATALINA_BASE/conf/Catalina/localhost/myapp.xml <Context antiResourceLocking="false" privileged="true" docBase="$CATALINA_BASE/logs" reloadable="true"> <Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.JNDIRealm" connectionURL="ldap://raiffeisen.ru:389" connectionName="myacco...@raiffeisen.ru" (I also tried the format connectionName="cn=myaccount,dc=raiffeisen,dc=ru" - does it matter what format do I use?) connectionPassword="mypassword" referrals="follow" userBase="OU=_Users,DC=raiffeisen,DC=ru" userSearch="(sAMAccountName={0})" userSubtree="true" roleBase="OU=_Groups,DC=raiffeisen,DC=ru" roleName="cn" roleSubtree="true" roleSearch="(member={0})" /> </Context> WEB-INF/web.xml <security-constraint> <web-resource-collection> <web-resource-name>Administrative Area</web-resource-name> <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern> </web-resource-collection> <auth-constraint> <role-name>ADGroupName</role-name> </auth-constraint> </security-constraint> <security-role> <description> The role that is required to view logs </description> <role-name>ADGroupName</role-name> </security-role> I also placed LDAP.jar into $CATALINA_BASE/lib, restarted tomcat for I guess a hundred times, but every time I'm getting a message in catalina.out: Throwable occurred: LifecycleException: Exception opening directory server connection: javax.naming.CommunicationException: localhost:389 [Root exception is java.net.ConnectException: A remote host refused an attempted connect operation.] and SEVERE: Error deploying configuration descriptor myapp.xml Throwable occurred: java.lang.IllegalStateException: ContainerBase.addChild: start: LifecycleException: Exception opening directory server connection: javax.naming.CommunicationException: localhost:389 [Root exception is java.net.ConnectException: A remote host refused an attempted connect operation.] I tried to telnet raiffeisen.ru by port 389 and got connected. I installed JXplorer, entered hostname, port, my credentials and got connected. I start Tomcat and get errors. Can you please give me an idea about what am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance.
