Element auth-constraint
diagram element image
description The auth-constraint element indicates the user roles that should be permitted access to this resource collection. The role-name used here must either correspond to the role-name of one of the security-role elements defined for this web application, or be the specially reserved role-name "*" that is a compact syntax for indicating all roles in the web application. If both "*" and rolenames appear, the container interprets this as all roles. If no roles are defined, no user is allowed access to the portion of the web application described by the containing security-constraint. The container matches role names case sensitively when determining access.
