Hi,
My problem is that I need to provide authntication to my servlets and NOT any other gif's or jpegs or other image files loaded by the jsp's or servlets.


This is because fast reloading of a jsp which loads many images cause problems with authentication.


A dialog box keeps appearing asking for the username and password.All the image files reside under Tomcat-4.0.1.

I use the mod_webapp to connect Tomcat to Apache-1.3x.


I do the authenication in the httpd.conf of Apache and use the NTLM authentication scheme.My httpd.conf looks like this.

			

			WebAppConnection warpConnection warp localhost:8000
			

			WebAppDeploy myservlets warpConnection /myservlets/
			

			WebAppDeploy ourservlets warpConnection /ourservlets/
			

			

			

			AuthName NTAuth
			

			AuthType NTLM
			

			NTLMAuth On
			

			NTLMAuthoritative on
			

			NTLMDomain Mydomain
			

			NTLMServer Myserver
			

			require valid-user
			

			Satisfy all
			

			

			

			The location /*/* provides authentication to the servlets and ALSO to the image files under Tomcat.
			

			Is there some way to exclude them and not get them authenticated?Also I find that
			

			does not provide authentication to the servlets and the RemoteUser is returned null.
			

			Does'nt the /* mean ALL urls?
