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:
    1. In the Admin Web UI, click the Server tab
    2. In the Configuration pane, click Advanced Properties.
    3. In a Tomcat Users' Password Digest field, set the property value to False.
    4. Click Save.
  2. Modify jazz/server/tomcat/conf/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"/>
