Basically when you attempt to hit a secured area of the FarCry webtop
security goes through the following process:
- does the user have permission to be here?
- if the user does not have the appropriate permission, logout and
redirect to login page

This is a failsafe -- in other words if you trigger this response its
likely because you are not supposed to be there or that your session
has expired.

If there is no error shown in the login box this almost invariably
means that your authentication was successful, ie you logged in, but
your permissions were lacking even the most basic "access to webtop"
permission and so you're being unceremoniously logged out.

dmSec is the moniker for the security sub-system -- it is not a
reference to a specific table in the database.  dmSec tables all use
identity fields unlike the rest of FarCry which uses UUIDs.  Therein
lies the problem.  The installer pre-loads a set of users, groups,
roles and permissions -- the relationships between these tables are
all fixed identity values.

If for whatever reason the install fails, sets different primary keys
or no keys, etc.  Then you effectively have no default security model
in place and nothing you can do will allow you to log in.

We really need to better understand why Oracle is failing to correctly
install this default data in some environments -- then we'd have a
better chance at solving the problem :)  As it is, once you get some
default security information in place, you'll never have the problem
again.  One way to accomplish this is to simply transfer content from
a successful install into the relevant tables.

You will be glad to know that a major part of Fortress is the complete
overhaul of security -- at least this issue will no longer be a
problem in future releases.
