Error creating acl for (resource). I get this error when entering security info in web.xml.

Question

We're using iWS 6.0. Is there some security configuration that needs to be done in order to use standard security directives in our web application's web.xml?
Thanks!

Hi ,
I have tried adding the following into web.xml but the security feature just doesnt work and the user can go to any page without any restriction.
<security-constraint>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>Declarative Security Test</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>/SuperServlet</url-pattern>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
<http-method>post</http-method>
<http-method>get</http-method>
</web-resource-collection>
<user-data-constraint>
     <transport-guarantee>CONFIDENTIAL</transport-guarantee>
     </user-data-constraint>
<auth-constraint>
<role-name>guest</role-name>
<role-name>member</role-name>
</auth-constraint>
</security-constraint>
<login-config>
<auth-method>BASIC</auth-method>
</login-config>
<security-role>
<role-name>guest</role-name>
<role-name>member</role-name>
</security-role>
The roles mentioned above have been added correctly into tomcat-users.xml..The version of tomcat I am using is tomcat5.0.28.Please help.
