I can not get BASIC authentication to work with a webapp that I deployed on Tomcat, even though I have the following entries in the web.xml file in the apps WEB-INF directory. Does anybody see what I am doing wrong? When I go the the WebSiteDev directory, I am expecting to get prompted for a user name and password, but all of the pages still come up without any request for authentication. Plus I don't get any errors when I start Tomcat (I,a using vesion .5.5), so I don't think the xml is bad. Any help that anybody could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
