Password for Java Applet?

[kkoldewyn]

Has anyone experienced this issue before? I have authentication enabled in the web.xml file, and then tomcat users set up with username and passwords.

I am first prompted for the username and password for viewing the web viewer, and then one more time once the java applet begins to load. I've attached a picture:

I'm using super container 2.041, have tired embedding usernames and passwords, not sure what else I can try. Any ideas?

Hey Ken -Are you saying that you have enabled per-user permissions in Tomcat, in addition to the username and password set in the web.xml file? I have not experimented with that configuration. Does it work correctly if you only do one or the other?

Hi Jesse,

Yes, i've enabled per user in tomcat. It goes through if I turn authentication off completely, but then I won't have authentication.

I don't have a password or anything set in the web.xml file, just uncommented the last section of the file. I posted the file at the end of this message. You can see that I left the username and auth sections blank, and then just uncommented that last portion.

It does authenticate just fine when you get the java applet, it just pops up each time on every file, in addition to the web viewer prompting for username and password (although you can set it to remember that password.) It would be ideal if it would only prompt once and remember the password, or something along those lines.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
