Description gohilmca 2023-06-21 09:13:53 UTC
Under apache tomcat documentation page
https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.5-doc/config/valve.html#Digest_Authenticator_Valve

There is list of authentication valves implementation documentation.

Under Digest Authenticator Valve documentation there are table of attributes that Digest Authenticator Valve supports.

The first entry is "algoirthms" which has spelling mistake and even with this attribute name tomcat showing warnings on startup.

I have checked with correct spelling "algorithms" attribute and tomcat functioning as expected.

Let me know if I can be of any help with this correction.

Thanks & Regards,
Yuvarajsinh.
