Re: servlet authentication with apache - solution

[Mark McWilliams <mm...@segundo.net>]

Second time I posted this, and no one bothered to answer, but I
found the solution on my own.

Use a Location directive in the httpd.conf. My webapp name is stuff,
so I use the following:

<Location /stuff/>
  AuthType Basic
  AuthName "whatever"
  AuthUserFile "/usr/local/apache2/conf/passwd"
  require valid-user
</Location>

MUCH simpler than trying to set it up in Tomcat.
