DO NOT REPLY [Bug 52587] New: NPE in authenticator when no realm/resource is defined

https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=52587

             Bug #: 52587
           Summary: NPE in authenticator when no realm/resource is defined
           Product: Tomcat 7
           Version: 7.0.25
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.4
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: Catalina
        AssignedTo: dev@tomcat.apache.org
        ReportedBy: chris@christopherschultz.net
    Classification: Unclassified


When no Realm is available to authenticate against, an NPE is thrown.

STR:

1. Start with a stock 7.0.25 and modify server.xml:
2. Comment-out <Resource> in <GlobalNamingResources>
3. Comment-out <Realm> in <Engine>
4. Deploy manager app and try to log in

java.lang.NullPointerException
    org.apache.catalina.realm.RealmBase.authenticate(RealmBase.java:340)

Clearly, this is a pathological setup, but it might be nice to get a decent
error message instead of an NPE.

The root cause was the the NullRealm was created but not initialised with this
configuration. That has been fixed in trunk and 7.0.x and will be included in
7.0.26 onwards.
