I wanted to configure Tomcat6.0 authentication via JDBC realm Configuration.** I checked following:

-All my "users" and "roles" are stored in MySQL database.

-MySQL JDBC drives are in tomcat\lib directory

-Tomcat-user-xml is modified for such realm as below

<-Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.JDBCRealm" driverName="org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver" connectionName="XXX" connectionPassword="YYY" connectionURL="jdbc:mysql://localhost/mydb" digest="MD5" userTable="users" userNameCol="username" userCredCol="password" userRoleTable="user_roles" roleNameCol="rolename"/>

After doing this whenever I try to run Tomcat and try to run 'Manager' then it throws Authentication error on browser and Catalina.log contain following error log everytime.

SCHWERWIEGEND: Exception opening database connection java.sql.SQLException: Access denied for user 'XXX';password=XXXX'@'localhost' (using password: NO) at com.mysql.jdbc.SQLError.createSQLException(SQLError.java:1055) at com.mysql.jdbc.SQLError.createSQLException(SQLError.java:956) at com.mysql.jdbc.MysqlIO.checkErrorPacket(MysqlIO.java:3558) at com.mysql.jdbc.MysqlIO.checkErrorPacket(MysqlIO.java:3490) at com.mysql.jdbc.MysqlIO.checkErrorPacket(MysqlIO.java:919) at com.mysql.jdbc.MysqlIO.secureAuth411(MysqlIO.java:3996) at com.mysql.jdbc.MysqlIO.doHandshake(MysqlIO.java:1284) at com.mysql.jdbc.ConnectionImpl.createNewIO(ConnectionImpl.java:2142) at com.mysql.jdbc.ConnectionImpl.(ConnectionImpl.java:781) at com.mysql.jdbc.JDBC4Connection.(JDBC4Connection.java:46) at sun.reflect.NativeConstructorAccessorImpl.newInstance0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeConstructorAccessorImpl.newInstance(Unknown Source) at sun.reflect.DelegatingConstructorAccessorImpl.newInstance(Unknown Source) at java.lang.reflect.Constructor.newInstance(Unknown Source) at com.mysql.jdbc.Util.handleNewInstance(Util.java:406) at com.mysql.jdbc.ConnectionImpl.getInstance(ConnectionImpl.java:352) at com.mysql.jdbc.NonRegisteringDriver.connect(NonRegisteringDriver.java:284) at org.apache.catalina.realm.JDBCRealm.open(JDBCRealm.java:703) at org.apache.catalina.realm.JDBCRealm.start(JDBCRealm.java:775) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.start(ContainerBase.java:1037) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngine.start(StandardEngine.java:443) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardService.start(StandardService.java:516) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardServer.start(StandardServer.java:710) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.start(Catalina.java:583) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(Unknown Source) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(Unknown Source) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Unknown Source) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.start(Bootstrap.java:288) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.main(Bootstrap.java:413)

Please anybody have idea what is going wrong and at which point.

Thanks

A: 

From the exception it seems that the username and/or password of the database user are incorrect. Make sure that they are spelled right and that a database user with the proper access rights is actually created.

Yes, that could be. I double check it several times, so that is not a a case I think.. thanks anyways
