Subject: getRemoteUser() reset to null after authenticated user hits
anunauthorized page


I am using form-based authentication under Tomcat 3.2.3.

I have 3 security-constraint sections in web.xml for 3 different user
roles.
If an already authenticated user selects a page to which he is not
authorized, he is redirected to the form-error-page (I thought this
should
be a 403-Forbidden error instead), and his authentication is
invalidated.
(A getRemoteUser() call returning null at this point verifies this).

The implication of this, is that he can no longer select any pages that
he
IS authorized for, and must re-login. Is this a known bug with Tomcat
3.2.3,
expected behavior, or is there a configuration setting I am missing?

Thanks in advance,
Scott
