[jira] Commented: (GERONIMO-2339) Empty auth-constraint tag in web
app security-constraint does not prevent access to resource
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-2339?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_12462473 ]
Vamsavardhana Reddy commented on GERONIMO-2339:
-----------------------------------------------
I think Tomcat has problem processing security-constraints with empty auth-constraint (FORBIDDEN access) and no auth-constraint (UNRESTRICTED access).

> I have the following security constraint in web.xml
> <security-constraint>
> <web-resource-collection>
> <web-resource-name>No Access</web-resource-name>
> <url-pattern>/forbidden/*</url-pattern>
> </web-resource-collection>
> <auth-constraint/>
> </security-constraint>
> This means /forbidden/* is not accessible by any user. The permission woks fine if the application is deployed in Geronimo Jetty distribution.
> If the application is deployed in Geronimo Tomcat distribution, URLs /forbidden/* are accessible by all users.
