Secure your App using credentials

Username and Password can be used to keep your DBSync Cloud Replication more secured. The below steps should be followed to setup username and password.

  • Go to Install Folder > conf > tomcat-users.xml

  • tomcat-users.xml should be edited by including the below code at the end just before </tomcat-users>

<role rolename="manager"/> <role rolename="tomcat"/> <role rolename="admin"/> <role rolename="role1"/> <role rolename="dbsync"/> <user username="manager" password="manager" roles="manager"/> <user username="both" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat,role1"/> <user username="tomcat" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat"/> <user username="role1" password="tomcat" roles="role1"/> <user username="adminuser" password="adminpassword" roles="admin"/> <user username="repl" password="avankia1" roles="dbsync"/>

  • In this code, you need to specify the username and password that you would like to setup for admin role.

  • In this example, username is adminuser and password is adminpassword for role admin.

<security-constraint> <web-resource-collection> <web-resource-name>admin</web-resource-name> <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern> <http-method>GET</http-method> <http-method>POST</http-method> </web-resource-collection> <auth-constraint> <role-name>tomcat</role-name> <role-name>admin</role-name> </auth-constraint> </security-constraint> <login-config> <auth-method>BASIC</auth-method> </login-config>

<security-role> <role-name>admin</role-name> </security-role>

  • Save these changes and close web.xml

  • Restart tomcat and try to access DBSync Cloud Replication User Interface.
