I am writing an application using Weblogic 6.1 with LDAP for security. I am also using FORM based authentication. So here is my problem: When a user logs in everything works fine. When a user mistypes a password less than three times, everything again works as expected. However when a user mistypes a password for the 4th tume the LDAP throws an exception saying that the maximum number of retry attempts exceeded. That is the behavior that I would like to get by the problem is that the exception is thrown in j_security_check and I have no way of catching it and dealing with it myself so I get the ugly Error 500 in browser. Any ideas?

The error page stuff in the web.xml file might be of some use here as it allows you to forward to a page when a specific error or exception occurs. (not sure if it works 100% in WebLogic though - we've certainly had some problems with 500's still appearing in the browser :roll: ) Simon

As simon told u can use error page or u can set an error page for form based login just like u set login page for that. see WLS doc for further details.

We also have an LDAP server that we are authenicatnig against and I've just had exactly the same error! As a "catchall", you can use something like the following in the your web.xml file:
Since this is more Servlet related, I'll move this over to the Servlets forum Simon [ May 02, 2002: Message edited by: Simon Brown ]

Thanks. That works. A follow up question though: Is there a way to see the message of the thrown exception? Thanks
I agree. Here's the link: http://ej-technologies/jprofiler - if it wasn't for jprofiler, we would need to
run our stuff on 16 servers instead of 3.
