Authentication, JAAS & friends

[Guillaume Lederrey <Ge...@ledcom.ch>]

  Hello !

  I have an app that I need to test with a custom JAAS authentication module 
enabled. I set up the environnement as described in 
http://jakarta.apache.org/cactus/writing/howto_security.html, added 
"cactus.tomcat4x.config=${basedir}/conf/cactus/tomcat4x/server.xml" to my 
project.properties to enable the JAAS Realm and configured a "mergewebxml" to 
enable the authentication on "/ServletRedirectorSecure".

  I have a very simple test that tries to access one of my secured servlet. 
From what I see in my app's logs, the access is occuring and there is no 
error. But ... the test (run with "maven -o cactus:test" exit with an error. 
The relevant log :

 [cactus] Testcase: testCallWithUserPrincipal took 0.033 sec
    [cactus]    Caused an ERROR
    [cactus] Failed to get the test results at 
[http://localhost:8080/siems-ds-cactus/ServletRedirectorSecure]
    [cactus] org.apache.cactus.util.ChainedRuntimeException: Failed to get the 
test results at 
[http://localhost:8080/siems-ds-cactus/ServletRedirectorSecure]
    [cactus]    at 
org.apache.cactus.internal.client.connector.http.DefaultHttpClient.doTest_aroundBody0
(DefaultHttpClient.java:92)

  Where should I be looking ?

 Thank you !

  Guillaume
