Websphere 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 ?

This could be caused, for instance, by combining form-based authentication (which it sounds like you're using) with having cookies turned off on your browser...

Don't post the same question in multiple threads (EJB and WebSphere AND private email...)
It's a bit hard to follow the evolution of your problem, and I'm sure it will discourage some JavaRancher
