Configure authentication across an entire host...

[Nathan Wilhelmi <wi...@ucar.edu>]

Hello - Is there any way to setup digest or basic authentication to  
cover an entire host.? Basically I would like to create a blanket  
authorization setup for a host without having to modify individual  
applications. So anything deployed in that host would require some  
simple level of authentication.

Thanks!

-Nate

This might be what you want.  "Single Sign on",
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/host.html.   It can let the
different webapp share the same realm authentication.

Haven't tried it, but you may be able to put appropriate <security-constraint>, <login-config>, and <security-role> elements in conf/web.xml, since that's shared by all webapps.  Use a <url-pattern> of /* to grab everybody.
