								        <li>An update to a XML configuration file will trigger an undeploy
							 |

| 
								 | 
							
								        (without the removal of any expanded directory), followed by 
							 |

								    <p>When using automatic deployment, the <code>docBase</code> defined by

						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    an XML <a href="context.html">Context</a> file should be outside of the

							 |

								 |

								    <p>Finally, note that if you are defining contexts explicitly, you should

| 
								 | 
							
								    probably turn off automatic application deployment.  Otherwise, your context
							 |

| 
								 | 
							
								    will be deployed twice each, and that may cause problems for your app.

							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    <ul>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    <li>All web applications configured for this virtual host must share the
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        same <a href="realm.html">Realm</a>.  In practice, that means you can
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        nest the Realm element inside this Host element (or the surrounding
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        <a href="engine.html">Engine</a> element), but not inside a

							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        web applications.</li>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    <li>As long as the user accesses only unprotected resources in any of the
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        web applications on this virtual host, they will not be challenged
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        to authenticate themselves.</li>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    <li>As soon as the user accesses a protected resource in
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        <strong>any</strong> web application associated with this virtual
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        host, the user will be challenged to authenticate himself or herself,
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        using the login method defined for the web application currently
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        being accessed.</li>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    <li>Once authenticated, the roles associated with this user will be
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        utilized for access control decisions across <strong>all</strong>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        of the associated web applications, without challenging the user
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        to authenticate themselves to each application individually.</li>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    <li>As soon as the user logs out of one web application (for example,
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        by invalidating the corresponding session if form
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        based login is used), the user's sessions in <strong>all</strong>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        web applications will be invalidated.  Any subsequent attempt to
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        access a protected resource in any application will require the
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        user to authenticate himself or herself again.</li>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    <li>The Single Sign On feature utilizes HTTP cookies to transmit a token
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        that associates each request with the saved user identity, so it can
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        only be utilized in client environments that support cookies.</li>
