 So I leave out the cred flag in the script to launch the TDM,  it will ask me 
for a password,  and the password I give it is the one in the tomcat-users.xml? 
 Is that correct?  And therefore the TDM user can be a user with no home 
directory and no login password,  Am I understanding this?

Sorry to be dense,  but I would rather make certain I understand it.
