Configuring Apache Tomcat and Jazz™Team Server to use clear text passwords

By default passwords are encrypted and stored in the Tomcat user database. You can change the configuration to store the passwords in a clear text file.

Procedure

  1. Set Apache Tomcat Users password digest (tomcat.digest.password) property to false.
  2. Modify tomcat-users.xml file to set passwords to clear text versions.
  3. Modify jazz/server/tomcat/conf/server.xml and change the Realm definition.
    From:
    <Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.UserDatabaseRealm" 
    	resourceName="UserDatabase" 
    	digest="SHA-1" 
    	digestEncoding="UTF-8"/>
    To
    <Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.UserDatabaseRealm" 
    	resourceName="UserDatabase"/>
