basic auth does not work? ( 4.0.1 final and 4.0 latest nightly )
I cannot get basic authentication to work with 4.0.1 release
and latest nightly build.
All I did in examples/WEB-INF/web.xml was:
1. added
<login-config>
<auth-method>BASIC</auth-method>
<realm-name>Private</realm-name>
</login-config>
2. commented out form based login configuration.
Tomcat gives 'HTTP Status 500 - Internal Server Error'
when I try to access examples/jsp/security/protected/
Is this how it should be or is there a fix for this?
Craig, anybody, is this a current behaviour or am I doing
something wong? If it does not work at the moment
can you estimate when...? :-)
best regards,
Taavi

No developer/coder has replied to this (ASAIK).
I too am waiting (albeit not with baited breath, since I use FORM) for
some indication.

thanks,
is there any time estimate of when it will start working again?

Yes, this is the current behaviour. Refer to earlier posts (by search).
Current remedy is to use "form" instead (if appropriate) else revet back
to 3.x.

Are you getting this error on the standard examples webapp, or on one of
your own? If it's on the standard example, there's something corrupted
about your installation -- if it's on your own app, we'll need to see the
web.xml and (relevant) server.xml entries as well.
Also, what OS and JDK are you using?

I have not made any changes to server.xml and in web.xml I replaced
FORM with BASIC as you suggested.
Does this stack trace help you?

It works fine for me (and many others), which means that there is
something wrong with your configuration files. I just checked again
(simply change the word FORM to BASIC in the existing <auth-method> is
easiest.
But the first thing to do is to post the stack trace that came with the
"Internal Server Error" page (or from one of the log files in the "logs"
directory -- without that, there is no way to diagnose what is going on.
