Summary: tomcat does not work when using special characters
("&") in tomcat-users.xml
Product: Tomcat 6
Version: 6.0.18
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: P2
Component: Catalina
AssignedTo: dev@tomcat.apache.org
ReportedBy: jan-ole.christ...@gmx.net
I could not found this bug already reported.
I could not found any documentend restriction for passwords used in the
tomcat-users.xml.
This is of minor importance, its just droves me crazy...
I have an freshly installed ubuntu 9.04.
I have an freshly installed tomcat 6 (installed with synapting package
manager).
When I give an user a password containing a special character like "&" and
restart tomcat (/etc/init.d/tomcat6 restart), tomcat will not serve any request
(you can connect to localhost:8080 but you get no answer), regardless of the
requested page.
When I assign an other password (containing no special character), tomcat
behaves normal.
My tomcat-users.xml:
<tomcat-users>
<role rolename="manager"/>
<role rolename="admin"/>
<user username="tomcat" password="4you&me" roles="admin,manager"/>
</tomcat-users>
