tomcat 3.2 authentication

[John Brzezicki <jo...@villanova.edu>]

Hello

I have been experimenting with tomcat's authentication in version 3.2. 
The examples in webapps/examples/jsp/security/login work fine when
tomcat is acting as the standalone web server, i.e. 
the page is called  as

http://localhost:8080/examples/jsp/security/login/login.jsp


However, when tomcat is configured to work with apache and the page is
called by

http://localhost/examples/jsp/security/login/login.jsp

the page comes up fine. Submitting the query causes the following error.

Not Found
The requested URL /examples/jsp/security/login/j_security_check was not
found on this server.


Apache seems to be treating j_security_check as a static html page and
not passing it off to tomcat to execute the security check.  Am I doing
anything wrong here ?  Are there any other modifications that need to be
done to get authentication services when tomcat is running with apache ?
Again, using tomcat as a standalone server seems to work just fine.


Thank you
