Default setup

• First follow MavenSetup to get the sources and dependencies
• Copy the mysql-connector-j to your TOMCAT_DIR/common/lib.
  • You can copy it from your M2_REPO/repository/mysql/mysql-connector-java/5.0.3/ or download it from the mysql website
• Create a database and user for de webical data:
  • databasename: webical
  • databaseuser: webical
  • databasepasswd: webical
• Create a authentication database:
  • databasename: authenticationdb
  • databaseuser: authuser
  • databasepasswd: authpasswd
  • dump this data in the database
• Login to the webapp with: webical:webical

Change authentication realm implementation

• The realm is defined in src/main/webapp/META-INF/context.xml. Change this to your needs, see the tomcat documentation for all possibilities.
• The required roles are defines in src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml. You must specify a list of roles in:

<security-role>
      <description>Webical User</description>
      <role-name>webicaluser</role-name>
</security-role>

• To protect the webapp with form based authentication change the role to your new role:

<security-constraint>
        ...
   <auth-constraint>
      <role-name>webicaluser</role-name>
   </auth-constraint>
</security-constraint>
