Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

["GW Brown, Information Systems and Computing" <>]

Hi Loris,

Have you got Apache in front of Tomcat - and is it doing the 
authentication? If so does it blanket protect grouper-dev? Otherwise are 
you using a servlet filter?

If you are using Apache can you isolate and post the relevant section of 
the access log?

In the web.xml there is a security constraint:
<security-constraint>
   <web-resource-collection>
     <web-resource-name>Tomcat login</web-resource-name>
     <url-pattern>/login.do</url-pattern>
   </web-resource-collection>
   <auth-constraint>
      <!-- NOTE:  This role is not present in the default users file -->
      <role-name>grouper_user</role-name>
   </auth-constraint>
 </security-constraint>

Which may not be necessary if the authentication is through Apache.

Thanks,

Gary
