Actually it didn't :( Attached please find what i see.  i'm not sure 
whether the fact that i have 2 webapps is implicated in this - i suspect 
so.

cheers, jason

================ with SSO ==================================

If i go through the exercise with SingleSignOn support enabled:

[eventually we get to the request:]

G E  T    / S  m a
			  r t  P r  e c  e d  e n  t S  e r  v e
			  r /  a s  k I  n t  e r  v i  e w  P r

			  e p  o s  i t  o r  y n  a m  e =  T e
			  s t  D r  i v  e    H T  T P  / 1  . 1
[there is no authorization header]

Tomcat log says BOTH OF THE FOLLOWING!
61.9.164.185 - - [02/Mar/2001:23:50:07 10000] "GET 
/SmartPrecedentServer/askInterviewPreferences HTTP/1.1" 401 -
61.9.164.185 - jerry [02/Mar/2001:23:56:56 10000] "GET 
/SmartPrecedentServer/askInterviewPreferences HTTP/1.1" 200 1315

BUT tcp dump doesn't show a response to the first request, and nor does 
it show the second request to have been made!?

neither the logs nor tcpdump show SSO cookie to be set:
2001-03-03 00:09:07 SingleSignOn[localhost]:  Checking for SSO cookie
2001-03-03 00:09:07 SingleSignOn[localhost]:  SSO cookie is not present
2001-03-03 00:09:07 StandardHost[localhost]: Mapping request URI 
'/TestDrive/protected/showHomeDirectory'
2001-03-03 00:09:07 StandardHost[localhost]:   Trying the longest 
context path prefix
2001-03-03 00:09:07 StandardHost[localhost]:  Mapped to context '/TestDrive'
2001-03-03 00:09:07 showHomeDirectory: init

The realm names in both webapps are identical.


Re: [TC4] HTTP 1.1 client authentication problems STILL

Posted by Jason Harrop <jh...@bigpond.net.au>.
Replying to my own post: main problem fixed by Remy's patches in the 
most recent nightly build.  I haven't experimented with the SSO stuff 
again though.
