Using Digest method of JDBCRealm

[Larry Rogers <ro...@sprynet.com>]

Hi All,

I'm trying to use the static Digest method included in JDBCRealm in 
Tomcat 4b3 from the command line.  When I execute the following

$ java -classpath catalina.jar org.apache.catalina.realm.JDBCRealm -a 
MD5 pass

from tomcat/server/lib, I get the output at the end of this message.  I 
have the same trouble using the Digest method from a simple web application.

I want to use the Digest method provided by Tomcat to store encrypted 
passwords in the JDBCRealm database for use in authenticating users of 
my web apps.  If anyone is able to do this, what did you have to do to 
get it to work?

Thanks for any help,

Larry

The main method of JDBCRealm has been removed in the later releases
and will be probably me migrated to a standalone tool.

Yes, invoking main of the older JDBCRealm would return your password
encrypted using MD5. Insert this password for your user in the DB to
make use of it.

Yes, look at Oki's previous mail in this thread but basically you would
set your <Realm> entry to use digest i.e. <Realm ... Digest="MD5"/> and
setup in web.xml which section of your site to protect.

I believe that the above command is for getting the digest of the
entered password.
I looked up your mail header, you use Linux; so, you can get "md5sum"
program for digesting files.

You can see my other posting on JDBCRealm and MD5 passwords.
