RE:RE:RE: RE: RE: How to get Role and Password from JDBC Rea... - not in 3.2.2??

["Dr. Thomas W. Richter" <TW...@t-online.de>]

Hmm, thanks again Jan,

but this method isn't available in Tomcat 3.2.2. So I fear I must perform getting userrole and userpass manually. How can I read out server.xml so that I have not to write a properties file where the name of the auth DB, useradminname and useradminpass once again?

Thank you again for help, I do not understand how JDBCRealm reads out server.xml

The username and the password is part of the request. you can get it
from
	org.apache.catalina.util.Base64 base64Helper = new
org.apache.catalina.util.Base64();
	String unencoded = new
String(base64Helper.decode(request.getHeader("authorization").getBytes()));
	int colon = unencoded.indexOf(':');
	if (colon < 0)
	    return (null);
	String username = unencoded.substring(0, colon).trim();
	String password = unencoded.substring(colon + 1).trim();

I hope it helps
