I realy appreiciate if someone can help me solve this

I had exactly the same problems when installing Tomcat on an AIX machine. It turned out that the native tar program silently chopped pathnames at 100 bytes, so that a lot of file names got truncated -- no wonder the admin applet was unable to find the files it was looking for. I installed GNU tar and used that instead to untar the distribution, and everything worked fine.

  • OC4J config file like tomcat-users.xml

    Hi,
    We are attempting to migrate a customer from tomcat to OC4J. For the demo, the customer has asked to use the listing of roles and users in the tomcat-users.xml file it has. Despite our pleas about security, they want this.
    Is there any file in OC4J that corresponds to this file in tomcat???
    We are configuring web.xml <login-config>, and assume that there is a similar type of redirect to a user's list in OC4J as is found in tomcat with tomcat-users.xml.
    Any help?
    Thanks,
    Scott Rappoport, OCP

    I found the file. Does one have to go through JAZNUserManager to alter the file, or is there a way to add users straight into the jazn-data.xml file? I tried to alter the file and add the roles and users from the tomcat file, but I still get a 403 error --
    Error initializing security, security-role not found: auth-user-2.
    I also altered the principal.xml file, but to no avail.
    I am using the OC4J stand-alone version; I note in the J2EE User's Guide (chap 8, security) that there is a User Manager page available from the OC4J home page. Is this available in stand-alone? I have opened the http server port 7778, but found no mod_oc4j in the list; Going to the OC4J port 8888 gives me the samples one would find in tomcat.
    One wonders if we need the core 9iAS with EM? Is there any way to stay with the lightweight stand-alone version for now to config this?
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    scott

  • Tomcat & users

    Hi!
    I'm trying to do the security management with the tomcat users, there're 3 ways to do that:
    1-using the tomcatusers dinamically. But the problem i have is that if a new user is added, tomcat must be restarted to find it :-(
    2-the other one is to do it with a DB, you must write in tomcat's config.xml where your DB is and which are the names of the tables and fields (users, passwords, roles...). But the problem i have is that tomcat doesn't look at theese tables, it never mind what i write there or if i write a non-existing name cause tomcat doesn't do anything with them.
    3-finally using jndi (or something like that) but i'd like to use the 2nd one.
    Thanks very much for your time

    Thanks Dave!

  • How to create tomcat user and directory structure

    I am new in using tomcat, recently installed tomcat 5.0 but don't know how to use it and how to view sample jsp pages. I tried tomcat_users.xml file to create user, but anybody knows the different roles used there? if yes, olease provide.
    Thanking you,
    Waiting for reply.
    By,
    Jitendrarc

    You dont need to use a user account to access the example pages.
    You need to start the server using startup.bat / sh or the tomcat monitor and access http://localhost
    When you connect to localhost you will see a link to the examples.
    Also at the top of the page you will se a link to Tomcat Administration, you can use this to add new users, instead of editing the xml by hand. I cannot remember the default password, Im sure its in the documentation (link in centre of page).
    For an open source project the documentation and tutorials are pretty good, would suggest you always start with this inforamation before looking for answers in forums.

  • How Do I Batch Delete Instances (Non-Tomcat User)

    I ran into that issue with the DST screwing up our scheduled reports and didn't notice until today. I started reading all over and found the notes in the SAP KB. I did find the tool that would help me batch delete the failed instances however it looks like it's using Tomcat. Is there another KB article that has the code for IIS users?

    As far as I know the tool will help you to reschedule the instances in a neutral way but it has to be used before the problem  occurs.
    In your case you have generic 2 options:
    1) Use the Instance manager in the CMC to erase the failed instances.
    2) Set a limit for the number of instances either at the top level of the public and the personal folders or directly on the folder they failed reports reside. This will trigger the automatic deletion of instances in your system. Depending on the locaiton where you set this you have to be carefull since succesfull instances may also be imnpacted.
    Hope this helps.

  • Limitation Concurrent User in BlazeDs or Tomcat

    Hi,
    My team have a some problem, when our user has reached about 25-30 user at one time, our application cannot send message to blazeds.  Is there a limitation for tomcat user? and how to setting it?  I already setting user <max-streaming-clients>500</max-streaming-clients> in services.config.xml.  Or maybe we not configure properly. Can we get an appropriate setting for max user number in tomcat or blazeds?
    Thanks in advance.

    If you can get it to work, the Designer Web Assistant should provide unlimited user, read-only access via a web-browser. That was one of our reasons for installing it. However, I cannot determine when the 6i version will be available, and it has not executed successfully yet.

  • Trying to set up multiple users, multiple roles in Tomcat

    I've been learning webapps by making a webapp for the school where my wife works -- to manage assigning students to the rotating schedule of art periods throughout the year. Lots of fun and very good learning. I bought a Tomcat book, installed Tomcat 4.1.24, and have been writing html, jsp's, servlets, etc.
    I've got a good deal of it working. Now I see that there will be areas of the app where it makes sense to restrict access to only those who have the roles -- the teacher who does the basic assignments work will have "manage" role, my wife who works in admissions will have "admin" access to the areas that allow students to be added to the database, general users will have access to areas where information is available but they can't change things. That sort of security planning.
    I'm not worried about industrial strength security. It's a nice place, no big security worries with the students, it's not on the web, just the school's local network. So I plan to use Tomcat's BASIC auth, and I've tried to set it up in the tomcat-users.xml and the webapp's web.xml.
    So I have 3 roles in tomcat-users.xml - user, manage, and admin. There would be a general user, named "user" with user role. That one could get in to the opening page, and to any other page not further restricted. The teacher would have "user" role to get in, and "manage" role to get to those pages that involve assignment tasks. My wife would have "user" to get in, and "admin" for admin stuff. A user would be blocked at the "secure" pages, but having logged in with both roles, the teacher and my wife would get them without further authentication.
    <tomcat-users>
    <role rolename="user"/>
    <role rolename="manage"/>
    <role rolename="admin"/>
    <user username="user" password="userhat" roles="user"/>
    <user username="hillary" password="managehat" roles="user,manage"/>
    <user username="susan" password="adminhat" roles="user,admin"/>
    </tomcat-users>
    In the web.xml, I thought I could set up 2 different "security areas" in the web.xml, as a "proof of concept" exercise.
    <security-constraint>
    <display-name>Entry Level Security</display-name>
    <web-resource-collection>
    <web-resource-name>Open Pages</web-resource-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
    </web-resource-collection>
    <auth-constraint>
    <role-name>user</role-name>
    </auth-constraint>
    </security-constraint>
    <security-constraint>
    <display-name>Art Blocks Secure Pages</display-name>
    <web-resource-collection>
    <web-resource-name>Secure Pages</web-resource-name>
    <url-pattern>/secure/*</url-pattern>
    </web-resource-collection>
    <auth-constraint>
    <role-name>admin</role-name>
    <role-name>manage</role-name>
    </auth-constraint>
    </security-constraint>
    However I find that the general user, after passing the BASIC authentication popup, gets the opening page, but then can get to the admin stuff without any further popups. I must be missing something.

    Hi,
    Tomcat is not big on security. It doesn't have good security in standalone mode.Whenever I used Tomcat, another web server like Apache was used to provide authentication. This doesn't answer questions but you know at least not to expect too much.

    <!-- Defines a cluster for this node,
    By defining this element, means that every manager will be changed.
    So when running a cluster, only make sure that you have webapps in there
    that need to be clustered and remove the other ones.
    A cluster has the following parameters:
    className = the fully qualified name of the cluster class
    name = a descriptive name for your cluster, can be anything
    mcastAddr = the multicast address, has to be the same for all the nodes
    mcastPort = the multicast port, has to be the same for all the nodes
    mcastBindAddr = bind the multicast socket to a specific address
    mcastTTL = the multicast TTL if you want to limit your broadcast
    mcastSoTimeout = the multicast readtimeout
    mcastFrequency = the number of milliseconds in between sending a "I'm alive" heartbeat
    mcastDropTime = the number a milliseconds before a node is considered "dead" if no heartbeat is received
    tcpThreadCount = the number of threads to handle incoming replication requests, optimal would be the same amount of threads as nodes
    tcpListenAddress = the listen address (bind address) for TCP cluster request on this host,
    in case of multiple ethernet cards.
    auto means that address becomes
    InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostAddress()
    tcpListenPort = the tcp listen port
    tcpSelectorTimeout = the timeout (ms) for the Selector.select() method in case the OS
    has a wakup bug in java.nio. Set to 0 for no timeout
    printToScreen = true means that managers will also print to std.out
    expireSessionsOnShutdown = true means that
    useDirtyFlag = true means that we only replicate a session after setAttribute,removeAttribute has been called.
    false means to replicate the session after each request.
    false means that replication would work for the following piece of code: (only for SimpleTcpReplicationManager)
    <%
    HashMap map = (HashMap)session.getAttribute("map");
    map.put("key","value");
    %>
    replicationMode = can be either 'pooled', 'synchronous' or 'asynchronous'.
    * Pooled means that the replication happens using several sockets in a synchronous way. Ie, the data gets replicated, then the request return. This is the same as the 'synchronous' setting except it uses a pool of sockets, hence it is multithreaded. This is the fastest and safest configuration. To use this, also increase the nr of tcp threads that you have dealing with replication.
    * Synchronous means that the thread that executes the request, is also the
    thread the replicates the data to the other nodes, and will not return until all
    nodes have received the information.
    * Asynchronous means that there is a specific 'sender' thread for each cluster node,
    so the request thread will queue the replication request into a "smart" queue,
    and then return to the client.
    The "smart" queue is a queue where when a session is added to the queue, and the same session
    already exists in the queue from a previous request, that session will be replaced
    in the queue instead of replicating two requests. This almost never happens, unless there is a
    large network delay.
    -->
    <!--
    When configuring for clustering, you also add in a valve to catch all the requests
    coming in, at the end of the request, the session may or may not be replicated.
    A session is replicated if and only if all the conditions are met:
    1. useDirtyFlag is true or setAttribute or removeAttribute has been called AND
    2. a session exists (has been created)
    3. the request is not trapped by the "filter" attribute
    The filter attribute is to filter out requests that could not modify the session,
    hence we don't replicate the session after the end of this request.
    The filter is negative, ie, anything you put in the filter, you mean to filter out,
    ie, no replication will be done on requests that match one of the filters.
    The filter attribute is delimited by ;, so you can't escape out ; even if you wanted to.
    filter=".*\.gif;.*\.js;" means that we will not replicate the session after requests with the URI
    ending with .gif and .js are intercepted.
    The deployer element can be used to deploy apps cluster wide.
    Currently the deployment only deploys/undeploys to working members in the cluster
    so no WARs are copied upons startup of a broken node.
    The deployer watches a directory (watchDir) for WAR files when watchEnabled="true"
    When a new war file is added the war gets deployed to the local instance,
    and then deployed to the other instances in the cluster.
    When a war file is deleted from the watchDir the war is undeployed locally
    and cluster wide

  • I have a problem with JDBC Realm in Tomcat/Oracle/Win XP

    I have a problem with JDBC Realm in Tomcat.
    I have attached my server.xml file located in the
    C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\conf\server.xml
    The Problem is that when I login I get the user name and password prompt but it does not resolve.
    When I enter in the tomcat-users.xml password with memory realm uncommented it works fine.
    C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\conf\tomcat-users.xml
    Is there a cache or something I need to reset for the JDBC Realm to work?
    I have attached my tables and contents as well...
    Did I miss something????

  • URGENT HELP NEEDED ... Tomcat Realm and JRE1.4 plug-in problem

    I have tried the Security Realm of Tomcat. Since I do not have
    an LDAP server, I decided to use the Tomcat-users.xml file in
    Tomcat\conf directory.
    I added the following lines of code in the web.xml file.
    <security-constraint>
    <web-resource-collection>
    <web-resource-name>Entire Application</web-resource-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
    </web-resource-collection>
    <auth-constraint>
    <!-- NOTE: This role is not present in the default users file -->
    <role-name>webviewer</role-name>
    </auth-constraint>
    </security-constraint>
    <login-config>
    <auth-method>BASIC</auth-method>
    <realm-name>Tomcat Manager Application</realm-name>
    </login-config>
    The <role-name> "webviewer" is added into "Tomcat-Users.xml" as the following:
    <tomcat-users>
    <user name="test" password="password" roles="webviewer" />
    </tomcat-users>
    So, now when we type the url: http://localhost:8080/adbpdbre/default.htm, TOMCAT shows a dialog box asking for UserName: and Password:Now, only when we give the username and password, it shows the page. This is exactly what we want.
    But the problem now is, this default.htm page, has 5 links to 5 applets. The first time that I click on one of these links, the JRE plug of 1.4 shows a dialog again asking for the username and password. Till I dont provide the username and password the system doesnt go ahead and applet doesnt load. I do not want the JRE to ask me for the username/passwords again..How to avoid this ?
    Can you give me some more information on this. Ultimately in the production usage, we will be using LDAP and not Tomcat's memory realm.
    URGENT HELP NEEDED ... I need to get back to my client on this.
    Help would be v. much appreciated.

    In the config file, you 're essentially saying that you want Tomcat to prompt for usr/passw on every request (url-pattern = /*) made by a 'webviewer', and that's exactly what Tomcat is doing.
    Consider using specific url-patterns & roles for resources to be protected. If for now, all you need is to protect the first page, use a more specific url-pattern.
    Just an advice : if you'll be using LDAP in production, do not waste time with Tomcat's Security Realm and the BASIC authentication type, since the two have not much in common. Start reading doc on LDAP, and code a prototype, or even better, a vertical slice of the app (i.e a proof of concept).

    By defining this element, means that every manager will be changed.
    So when running a cluster, only make sure that you have webapps in there
    that need to be clustered and remove the other ones.
    A cluster has the following parameters:
    className = the fully qualified name of the cluster class
    name = a descriptive name for your cluster, can be anything
    mcastAddr = the multicast address, has to be the same for all the nodes
    mcastPort = the multicast port, has to be the same for all the nodes
    mcastBindAddr = bind the multicast socket to a specific address
    mcastTTL = the multicast TTL if you want to limit your broadcast
    mcastSoTimeout = the multicast readtimeout
    mcastFrequency = the number of milliseconds in between sending a "I'm alive" heartbeat
    mcastDropTime = the number a milliseconds before a node is considered "dead" if no heartbeat is received
    tcpThreadCount = the number of threads to handle incoming replication requests, optimal would be the same amount of threads as nodes
    tcpListenAddress = the listen address (bind address) for TCP cluster request on this host,
    in case of multiple ethernet cards.
    auto means that address becomes
    InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostAddress()
    tcpListenPort = the tcp listen port
    tcpSelectorTimeout = the timeout (ms) for the Selector.select() method in case the OS
    has a wakup bug in java.nio. Set to 0 for no timeout
    printToScreen = true means that managers will also print to std.out
    expireSessionsOnShutdown = true means that
    useDirtyFlag = true means that we only replicate a session after setAttribute,removeAttribute has been called.
    false means to replicate the session after each request.
    false means that replication would work for the following piece of code: (only for SimpleTcpReplicationManager)
    <%
    HashMap map = (HashMap)session.getAttribute("map");
    map.put("key","value");
    %>
    replicationMode = can be either 'pooled', 'synchronous' or 'asynchronous'.
    * Pooled means that the replication happens using several sockets in a synchronous way. Ie, the data gets replicated, then the request return. This is the same as the 'synchronous' setting except it uses a pool of sockets, hence it is multithreaded. This is the fastest and safest configuration. To use this, also increase the nr of tcp threads that you have dealing with replication.
    * Synchronous means that the thread that executes the request, is also the
    thread the replicates the data to the other nodes, and will not return until all
    nodes have received the information.
    * Asynchronous means that there is a specific 'sender' thread for each cluster node,
    so the request thread will queue the replication request into a "smart" queue,
    and then return to the client.
    The "smart" queue is a queue where when a session is added to the queue, and the same session
    already exists in the queue from a previous request, that session will be replaced
    in the queue instead of replicating two requests. This almost never happens, unless there is a
    large network delay.
    -->
    <!--
    When configuring for clustering, you also add in a valve to catch all the requests
    coming in, at the end of the request, the session may or may not be replicated.
    A session is replicated if and only if all the conditions are met:
    1. useDirtyFlag is true or setAttribute or removeAttribute has been called AND
    2. a session exists (has been created)
    3. the request is not trapped by the "filter" attribute
    The filter attribute is to filter out requests that could not modify the session,
    hence we don't replicate the session after the end of this request.
    The filter is negative, ie, anything you put in the filter, you mean to filter out,
    ie, no replication will be done on requests that match one of the filters.
    The filter attribute is delimited by ;, so you can't escape out ; even if you wanted to.
    filter=".*\.gif;.*\.js;" means that we will not replicate the session after requests with the URI
    ending with .gif and .js are intercepted.
    The deployer element can be used to deploy apps cluster wide.
    Currently the deployment only deploys/undeploys to working members in the cluster
    so no WARs are copied upons startup of a broken node.
    The deployer watches a directory (watchDir) for WAR files when watchEnabled="true"
    When a new war file is added the war gets deployed to the local instance,
    and then deployed to the other instances in the cluster.
    When a war file is deleted from the watchDir the war is undeployed locally
    and cluster wide

    I have set the context path to /tdm in the server.xml file. Should this be placed in context.xml?
    My first page in the project is called Homepage.html. To start my project I give http://localhost:5050/tdm/homepage.html
    in a browser. Here I accept a username and password from the user and then do the validation in
    a valid.jsp file, where I connect to the database and check and use jsp:forward to go to next pages
    accordingly. However when I enter the username and password and click Go in the homepage, nothing is
    displayed on the next page. The URL in the browser says valid.jsp but a blank screen appears.
    WHY DOES IT HAPPEN SO? DOES IT MEAN THAT TOMCAT IS NOT RECOGNIZING JAVA IN MY SYSTEM OR IS IT A PROBLEM
    WITH THE DATABASE CONNECTION OR SOMETHING ELSE? I FEEL THAT TOMCAT IS NOT EXECUTING JSP COMMANDS?
    IS IT POSSIBLE?WHY WILL THIS HAPPEN?
    I set the JAVA_HOME and CATALINA_HOME environment to the jdk and tomcat folders resp.
    Is there any other thing that I need to set in classpath? Should I have my project as a
    WAR file in the webapps of TOMCAT or just a folder i.e. directory structure will fine?

    I am using Tomcat 5.5 and Jdk 1.5.0_12 and Oracle 10g. I am using jdbc-odbc bridge connection
    to connect to the database. I have placed my project folder called
    tdm under the webapps folder in Tomcat. This 'tdm' folder consists of
    a collection of html pages,jsp pages and images of my project. Also I created a
    WEB-INF folderand in that I have lib folder which contains catalina-root.jar
    , classes12.jar and nls_charset.jar files. And also in the WEB-INF folder I have the web.xml
    file which looks like this

    mcastFrequency = the number of milliseconds in between sending a "I'm alive" heartbeat
    mcastDropTime = the number a milliseconds before a node is considered "dead" if no heartbeat is received
    tcpThreadCount = the number of threads to handle incoming replication requests, optimal would be the same amount of threads as nodes
    tcpListenAddress = the listen address (bind address) for TCP cluster request on this host,
    in case of multiple ethernet cards.
    auto means that address becomes
    InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostAddress()
    tcpListenPort = the tcp listen port
    tcpSelectorTimeout = the timeout (ms) for the Selector.select() method in case the OS
    has a wakup bug in java.nio. Set to 0 for no timeout
    printToScreen = true means that managers will also print to std.out
    expireSessionsOnShutdown = true means that
    useDirtyFlag = true means that we only replicate a session after setAttribute,removeAttribute has been called.
    false means to replicate the session after each request.
    false means that replication would work for the following piece of code: (only for SimpleTcpReplicationManager)
    <%
    HashMap map = (HashMap)session.getAttribute("map");
    map.put("key","value");
    %>
    replicationMode = can be either 'pooled', 'synchronous' or 'asynchronous'.
    * Pooled means that the replication happens using several sockets in a synchronous way. Ie, the data gets replicated, then the request return. This is the same as the 'synchronous' setting except it uses a pool of sockets, hence it is multithreaded. This is the fastest and safest configuration. To use this, also increase the nr of tcp threads that you have dealing with replication.
    * Synchronous means that the thread that executes the request, is also the
    thread the replicates the data to the other nodes, and will not return until all
    nodes have received the information.
    * Asynchronous means that there is a specific 'sender' thread for each cluster node,
    so the request thread will queue the replication request into a "smart" queue,
    and then return to the client.
    The "smart" queue is a queue where when a session is added to the queue, and the same session
    already exists in the queue from a previous request, that session will be replaced
    in the queue instead of replicating two requests. This almost never happens, unless there is a
    large network delay.
    -->
    <!--
    When configuring for clustering, you also add in a valve to catch all the requests
    coming in, at the end of the request, the session may or may not be replicated.
    A session is replicated if and only if all the conditions are met:
    1. useDirtyFlag is true or setAttribute or removeAttribute has been called AND
    2. a session exists (has been created)
    3. the request is not trapped by the "filter" attribute
    The filter attribute is to filter out requests that could not modify the session,
    hence we don't replicate the session after the end of this request.
    The filter is negative, ie, anything you put in the filter, you mean to filter out,
    ie, no replication will be done on requests that match one of the filters.
    The filter attribute is delimited by ;, so you can't escape out ; even if you wanted to.
    filter=".*\.gif;.*\.js;" means that we will not replicate the session after requests with the URI
    ending with .gif and .js are intercepted.
    The deployer element can be used to deploy apps cluster wide.
    Currently the deployment only deploys/undeploys to working members in the cluster
    so no WARs are copied upons startup of a broken node.
    The deployer watches a directory (watchDir) for WAR files when watchEnabled="true"
    When a new war file is added the war gets deployed to the local instance,
    and then deployed to the other instances in the cluster.
    When a war file is deleted from the watchDir the war is undeployed locally
    and cluster wide

    I have set the context path to /tdm in the server.xml file. Should this be placed in context.xml?
    My first page in the project is called Homepage.html. To start my project I give http://localhost:5050/tdm/homepage.html
    in a browser. Here I accept a username and password from the user and then do the validation in
    a valid.jsp file, where I connect to the database and check and use jsp:forward to go to next pages
    accordingly. However when I enter the username and password and click Go in the homepage, nothing is
    displayed on the next page. The URL in the browser says valid.jsp but a blank screen appears.
    WHY DOES IT HAPPEN SO? DOES IT MEAN THAT TOMCAT IS NOT RECOGNIZING JAVA IN MY SYSTEM OR IS IT A PROBLEM
    WITH THE DATABASE CONNECTION OR SOMETHING ELSE? I FEEL THAT TOMCAT IS NOT EXECUTING JSP COMMANDS?
    IS IT POSSIBLE?WHY WILL THIS HAPPEN?
    I set the JAVA_HOME and CATALINA_HOME environment to the jdk and tomcat folders resp.
    Is there any other thing that I need to set in classpath? Should I have my project as a
    WAR file in the webapps of TOMCAT or just a folder i.e. directory structure will fine?
