I am currently trying to convert our
Tomcat Apps to be used in Websphere Application Server 7, and they will not challenge the user for authentication. I believe that it doesn't know where to look for authentication and so doesn't attempt to authenticate.
In tomcat we have the context.xml (names have been removed for security):
Which declares the tables and rows needed for authentication.
I need something similar to embed in the webapp, preferably with minimal or no configuration on the websphere side that pulls its authentication from the database in the same fashion as it currently works.
The webapps in question are
Struts 1 or 2, and have sitemesh running (which is also causing seperate problems...). All were originally configured for Tomcat.
Before receiving this assignment I had no previous knowledge of Websphere, so anything you could tell me or show me about how to get this going would be appreciated.
