Customize 401 Error Page with HTTP Basic Authentication

For HTTP Basic Authentication, you define the auth type as BASIC.

After adding an error-page element in web.xml to customize 401 error page, HTTP auth will not work.

So far with Tomcat 6.0, I have found no way to make them work.

Tomcat DataSourceRealm

PostgreSQL version 8.

userTable="schema1.users" works and the schema name should be lower case too in the database.

Schema1 or SCHEMA1 won't work.

External JACC Provider in WebSphere 6.1

In WebSphere Application Server version 6.1, you can choose Default Authorization or External Authorization by JACC Provider.

1. Internal accepts "welcome.do" but external TAM provider doesn't, it accepts "/welcome.do"
2. I switched from Default to External but failed to switch it back. Even from the admin console it looked fine, but the server kept using TAM as authorization provider. What I had to do was to reinstall RSA.

Have a $ in your password?

In WAS 6.1 administrative console, when define a LDAP connection and enter the Bind password. It has a $. For example, the password is "abc$$cba".

What you need to enter is "abc$$$$cba".
