Webshere Authentication

[Pritam Pritam]

I am facing a major difficulty. It is as follows :
I have entered the following in web.xml
<security-constraint id="SecurityConstraint_1">
<web-resource-collection id="WebResourceCollection_1">
<web-resource-name>SecureMe</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>/jsp/ILM/HomePage.jsp</url-pattern>
<url-pattern>/manualSetup.do</url-pattern>
<http-method>GET</http-method>
<http-method>POST</http-method>
</web-resource-collection>
<auth-constraint id="AuthConstraint_1">
<description>CategoryManager:+:tutorial</description>
<role-name>CategoryManager</role-name>
</auth-constraint>
<user-data-constraint id="UserDataConstraint_1">
<transport-guarantee>NONE</transport-guarantee>
</user-data-constraint>
</security-constraint>
Here /jsp/ILM/HomePage.jsp , /manualSetup.do are the resources to be protected . I have entered role as CategoryManager.

When i enter http://localhost:9080/ILMWeb/.. /HomePage.jsp

I am directed to Authentication page of WAS where i can enter Username and password as per the user's password in Active Directory.Having done this , when the username and password entered are correct I am directed again to Authentication page
where i entered username and password . At this stage i should be directed to HomePage.jsp as per the URL entered . This is because the username and password entered by me are correct.
Can u please help regarding this issue ?
May i know how did you tackle this problem ?
