perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Vlada Macek <>]

I'm sure I slowly get boring. But after many hours of trying, Tomcat is
still giving me a 401 Unauthorized in deploy-adminclient step of Ant.

Yes, I see it.

But Tomcat refuses unauthorized installation of the service. When I
sniff the port 8080 communication, the
ls/LookupService/wsdd/ls-service-deploy.wsdd is sent without any
authentication HTTP information. Isn't it strange considering it tries
to do such privileged operation?

I tried to add these lines to tomcat-users.xml too, but with no success:

  <user username="" password="" roles="tomcat,admin,manager"/>
  <user username="lookupservice" password="sonar"
roles="tomcat,admin,manager"/>

How the I can force Ant to authenticate to Tomcat?

OR:

Is there some way to deploy the specified WSDD to Tomcat by hand? Maybe
it would be easier.

Thanks very much in advance!
