PWS AND Security-Constraint
Hi,
i've got a running web-application on a NT-Workstation
using PWS and TomCat. Now I want to add a security-constraint-tag
to protect the context of the web-application. I edited the web.xml
file of the web-application:
:
<security-constraint>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>XBOARDER</web-resource-name>
<!-- Define the context-relative URL(s) to be protected -->
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
<!-- If you list http methods, only those methods are protected -->
<http-method>DELETE</http-method>
<http-method>GET</http-method>
<http-method>POST</http-method>
<http-method>PUT</http-method>
</web-resource-collection>
</security-constraint>
<!-- Default login configuration uses BASIC authentication -->
<login-config>
<auth-method>BASIC</auth-method>
</login-config>
:

I thought that the Browser will ask me now for a login and password,
but nothing happend. Everything worked as before.
Isn't it possible to use the security-constraint together with PWS?
PWS itself can't protect anything!
