JAAS Error, Unable to locate a login configuration

Question

Maybe I can get some help with this one. Seem when I try to run my little login program as a jsp under Tomcat 4.1 I get the following
java.lang.SecurityException: Unable to locate a login configuration
First I modiied java.security like this:
# Default login configuration file
login.config.url.1==file:${java.home}/login.config
That didn't work
next I modified Tomcats setclasspath.bat like this
set RUNJAVA="%JAVAHOME%\bin\java -Djava.security.auth.login.config=C:\j2sdk1.4.2_02\jre\login.config"
That didn't work.
Next I created a jar that contained the login.config and put it into MyApplication/WEB-INF/lib
that didn't work.
So I am wondering if anyone here can tell me how to get my little JAAS login program working as either a servlet or a jsp? Why can't it find my login.config file? Works fine when I run directly with java
like this
java LoginJaas
thanks in advance

Answer 1

thanks for the advice, I've tried that too. I think I have a permissions problem. Tomorrow I am going to bug our consultant, the one that got me into this mess in the first place. It has got to me a permissions of configuration problem cause everything works great, until I put the login logic into a servlet container.
thanks again for the reply
