security

[Nabila Mohammad]

Hi there!

I was going through the security chapter and wanted to see how it works . But i am not sure what files it requires,and it's location and how to invoke it. So um.. can some one give me a rough idea on this, so i can work on it ....

Thanks!

The setup depends on the servlet container you're using; the instructions for Tomcat are at http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/realm-howto.html

Sorry for the long delay in response...

Does that mean I have to configure/create a Realm to test any part of Security?

Yes, a Realm is where you store the user's login credentials (username/password/roles etc..). Easiest way would be to use a memory realm, edit the tomcat-users.xml (for Tomcat) as mentioned in the link provided by Ulf.
