Okay, now I know what is going on, but I don't know why, or what to do about it...  Everything in the authentication works perfectly save for one thing.  It appears that the call for loginid = session.value('loginid',None) at the beginning of the authentication block returns a different value than does request.field('lgoinid', 'nologin').  As a result, the second phrase of the "if ..." statement that verifies the login fails.  This only happens with Firefox 1.5 from my desktop.  All my other browsers return the same value in both calls.  Does this suggest some possible cause in the browser? 
 
Regardless, thanks for all your help.  Clearly, Webware is not at fault here, and I will pursue the browser issues with the Mozilla folks for some explanation.  If I find out anything probitive I will post it back to this thread for future reference.

The easiest way is to add print statements, see
http://www.w4py.org/WebKit/Docs/UsersGuide.html#debugging
The output will be visible in the logs. You may want to start the
AppServer script with the "-u" option to have unbuffered output.

The servlets in question are in /Webware/WebKit/Admin
