I'm having the following problem when using FORM based
authentication with Tomcat 4.1.12 :
When I bring up a new browser window, and go to a
protected page (under /do/) I am redirected to the
login.jsp as I should be. If I enter the correct
username / password, I am logged in correctly and
forwarded back to the page I was trying to access.
This all works correctly.
However, if I enter garbage for a username and
password, I am redirected to the error.jsp page, which
is also correct. I then click the link on the
error.jsp page that takes me back to the login.jsp
page and try to login again with a valid
username/password combo, and it instantly redirects me
back to the error.jsp page. This isn't correct (as
far as I can tell) since it should have successfully
authed me the second time into the page.
I was wondering if anyone else had run into this
issue, or if there was something I was missing in one
of the config files or my web.xml file.
I am also using struts, but I don't think that has
anything to do with this error, since it appears to be
a j_security_check setup issue somehow.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Quenten
