I do not know I this helps because I have not encountered the problemn but I know Cisco VPN clients have a feature of disabling the client machines access the their local network. This "security" feature can be controlled by the VPN server. Was your reference to "localhost" a generic term or did you explicitly use localhost in the url? You can try 127.0.0.1 but you may need to use the IP address your VPN client assigned you.

I need to VPN into my customers network to gain access to their database (we are using Cisco iPass to VPN in). I am able to run all of my web apps while I am NOT logged into the network through localhost. However, once I VPN into the network to gain access to the database, I am no longer able to see my web applications through localhost. It is giving me an error "You are not authorized to view this page". I am assuming that I have not configured my tomcat security settings properly to work while using iPass VPN to access the network. I do not have a lot of experience setting up tomcat servers so please excuse me if this is a simple problem. With that said, if anyone has run into a similar problem, or knows a solution to this problem, I would be curious to know how to fix it. Thanks, Eric
