Deploying Tomcat in Amazon's cloud just got a little easier! Tomcat provides a JDBCRealm that allows developers to access user password and role information in their database. Lucid extended that concept by creating an S3Realm that allows developers to retrieve user credential and role information from S3.
Configuration of an S3Realm is easy. Just create an entry in tomcat's server.xml that identifies your application credentials bucket name, along with your AWS secret and access keys. That's it.
Of course the appropriate S3 bucket should contain the user principal and role information as well. Developers are still responsible for populating this as users register.
This functionality is undergoing testing right now and will make the next release of Hannibal! Once it does we will provide the appropriate documentation in the Wiki.
