tomcat using nis for realm authentication 2004-05-19 - By Andreas Pakulat

Hi,
I've got a problem with a tomcat 4.1.30. I want a webapp to use a
JNDIRealm for authentication which in turn uses NIS for authenticating
the user. But this doesn't work, I cannot login using correct password
and username.
server.xml looks like this for the Realm:
<Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.JNDIRealm  "
connectionURL="nis://$server/$domain/user"
contextFactory="com.sun.jndi.nis.NISCtxFactory"
debug="99"/>
where $server and $domain are the NIS Server and the domain for
authentication.
The web.xml of the webapp has this for the authentication:
<security-constraint>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>test</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</web-resource-collection>
<auth-constraint>
<role-name>student</role-name>
</auth-constraint>
</security-constraint>
<login-config>
<auth-method>BASIC</auth-method>
<realm-name>test</realm-name>
</login-config>
According to the Realm HOWTO and the few Information about NIS over
JDNI this should be correct and it's also not tomcat not finding the
ContextFactory for nis, I tested with a small servlet.
What I'm not sure about are the parameters for the Realm like roleBase
userBase and those.
Thanks for any hints.
Andreas
