Admin tool and digest passwords

[Julio Cesar Gazquez <jg...@rosario.gov.ar>]

I just configured Tomcat 5.5 using digest passwords, using SHA algorithm and 
setting the password hashes at tomcat-users.xml by hand.

However I'd need to use the Tomcat Admin Tool to manage passwords, yet it 
seems to be unable to deal with hashed passwords, so if I change a password 
using Admin I got the cleartext password in tomcat-users.xml.

Is it my fault and I'm missing something, or Admin just can't be used with 
digest passwords?

Julio.

It can, you just have to enter the passwords in digest form in the
same way you do when you manually enter them in tomcat-users.xml
