Re: password protection

Hi Luca:
It looks like your dods client doesnt know how to pass a name/password to tomcat? A 401 would be the correct response when an unauthorized user tries to access.
What dods client are you using? A browser? Then did you set up a thredds user in the tomcat-users.xml ? You have to restart tomcat after that, unless you use the Tomcat Administrator servlet.

Dear support,
I'd like to control the access to my datasets (thredds version 3.8.03). I tried 
to configure Tomcat Users. Now all seems to works but I can't get ascii data 
(after the authentication). I can see an empty web page and and I can read this 
error in catalina.out:

OUCH! IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 401 for URL:

I'd like to know how to limit data access.

Best regards, Luca
