Hi folks!

First day in this mailing list and first question:
Does anyone know something about the Basic Authentication mechanism with
Tomcat? It was supposed to be fixed in this release. Did anyone try it? Is
it working? Thanks, Vittorio

It's working for me, *but* you need to following in web.xml:

<login-config>
    <auth-method>BASIC</auth-method>
    <realm-name>Your realm</realm-name>
</login-config>
