Hi, I assume you are running a web server in front of tomcat in which case you need to tell your web server to delegate handling of j_security_check to tomcat. With apache you would add following to httpd.conf
JkMount /login/j_security_check ajp13 (or ajp12 depending on connector protocol you are using) Hope this helps andrew On 18-Oct-2001 Wayne Hefner wrote: > I am trying to set up a form based authorization, I have done everything > similar to examples I have found.
