Securing a web resource works ok, however the Form Login redirects to itself instead of the secured web component. The trace log shows the creation of the LtpaToken by the FormLoginServlet, but it seems that the cookie is immediatly cleared afterwards.
The WebAuthentication than concludes no or bad ltpa cookie and redirects to the login form.
Looks like we are going in circles here.
Seen this before??
Platform:
WebSphere 4.04 AE
DB2
Win2k
Here is the trace log just after the credentials where entered in the Form Login (also solves insomnia)

I'm not sure this is the reason, but we're sticking with 4.0.3 and refuse to go to 4.0.4 because we couldn't get the LTPA authentication working in any 4.0.X other than 3.

Nope, I fell back to PTF 3, but still the cookie
got squashed. The log is identical.

You need to apply all cumulative fixes to 4.0.4.
They can be downloaded from:
http://www-1.ibm.com/support/search.wss?rs=180&tc=SSEQTP&dc=D400
Search all versions using the keyword "4.0.4".
Regards.
Patrick.
