How to enable basic authentication on Team concert 1.0

0
Vibha Sinha (164●36●10) | asked Aug 26 '08, 8:16 a.m.
Hello

I wanted to use basic authentication as opposed to form based authentication on my TeamConcert server.

I tried changing the web.xml in tomcat/webapps/jazz/WEB-INF folder as follows - 

<login>

<auth>BASIC</auth>

</login>



<!--

<login>

<auth>FORM</auth>

<form>

<form>/auth/authrequired</form>

<form>/auth/authfailed</form>

</form>

</login>	

-->


However, when I try to connect to the server using my browser, I get the following error - 

Aug 26, 2008 5:34:16 PM org.apache.catalina.authenticator.FormAuthenticator forwardToLoginPage

WARNING: Unexpected error forwarding to login page

There is a Tech Note that included instructions on how to setup Basic
auth for Jazz Team Server. The instructions are in the "Configuring the
authentication method" section of
https://jazz.net/learn/LearnItem.jsp?href=content/tech-notes/jazz-team-server-0_6-authentication-explained/index.html
