Here is what solved this. My web.xml in the admin and in the customer
app were defined as follows:
<login-config>
<auth-method>BASIC</auth-method>
<realm-name>Order Inquiry</realm-name>
</login-config>
Apparently in tomcat you cannot have two contexts with a web.xml that
shares the the same login-config/realm-name. The behavior is VERY
bizarre. It would seem that the right way to deal with this would be
to identify the realms based on context. So, if i use the same realm
name in my web.xml it is totally irrelevant, because the realm is
scoped in the context.
Is this a bug?
