Hello,

I have been going around and around with this and am getting nowhere. I 
previously posted the issue, but there wasn't much response, so I thought I 
would try again.

I am using CAS 4.0.0 with MySQL as an authentication database. I have CAS built 
to use MySQL and have verified that it can connect and sometimes authenticate.  
 The password in the database is currently just plain text, which will change 
after I can get this working.

If I restart Tomcat, then navigate to the login page, I can usually 
authenticate successfully. However, if I either use another browser and log in 
as another user, or clear the cookies and log in again as the fist user, it 
says "invalid credentials". If I then resubmit the same password, it 
authenticates successfully.

I can see in the cas.log and catalina.out when the authentication is successful 
and when it is not, but not much else that explains this.

I am wondering what I should be using in the deployerConfigContext.xml file 
that indicates that I am using a plain text password for authentication? I read 
somewhere that the default encoder, if nothing is specified is plain text. Can 
someone verify that?  Here is what I am currently using.  I welcome any ideas 
about what might be causing this.
