Restrict manager app to Contexts in one (virtual) Host 2003-10-16 - By Florian Ebeling
Back
Hi there,
I wonder if there is any means to give users access to the manager
application, but let them only manipulate contexts located within their
own virtual <Host>s?
I think this question is one every ISP has to stumble across, provided
he doesn't want to get "please restart ..." mails all day long and
restart them manually.
I got a bit angry with my provider because he offers "Java server," but
he thaught JSP was everything there was to it. When I told him about
Contexts he was not really prepared. Still he's willing to solve it. So
I tried to figure it out by googling, browsing mail archives, etc. But,
it has not yet become apparent to me how ISPs are supposed to set up
tomcat4 to serve several virtual hosts. I told him to define one Host
for me and he did so. It works, but this is not really sufficient for an
ISP. It is unclear to me how to deploy and reload applications remotely,
in a by-host manner.
Is there a tomcat-based solution out there, or is it necessary to work
around it, somehow? (For example by invoking a small script local to the
server via some custom "admin" page link, or something.)
Best regards,
-Florian
