Realm name in tomcat (web.xml)
security, tomcat, web.xml
Solution
Realm name is not the user name. It is the authentication realm, 'typically a description of the computer or system being accessed" - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_access_authentication. This should be name that makes sense for the resource you are protecting.
Problem
What is the realm-name in the tomcat. ``` <login-config> <auth-method>BASIC</auth-method> <realm-name></realm-name> </login-config> ``` In the above code I have to fill the realm-name element. I have seen the following code in the server.xml file: ``` <Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.UserDatabaseRealm" resourceName="UserDatabase"/> ``` Where is the realm-name specified? Is it the user name?
