BTW I just checked what the login pages are called in JSPUI (which I don't use) my 1.8.2 and I was a little surprised they're called /password-login and /ldap-login in my instance, while they are *.jsp in yours. Perhaps there's some sort of URL rewrite to be turned on. But I digress. I'm sorry I don't know the exact answer to your question. Anyway, I wouldn't worry about that weird behavior, we'll just have to wait how that reported bug will be solved. Here's how I worked around it - since I'm running Apache in front of Tomcat, I just link to /login on the front page (no such URL exists in DSpace) and using mod_rewrite I redirect it to point to /ldap-login. I do this primarily to skip the dialog with choice of login method, since in my instance only administrators use passwords and any of the methods in the stack can be used in any of the login forms. <Location /login> RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^.*$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}/ldap-login [L,R] </Location> I digress again, but since I'm sharing that, here's a nice tip what I use for redirecting certain URLs to https. This is for XMLUI but you can put in your respective JSPUI URLs: <Location ~ ^/(password-login|ldap-login|profile|logout|admin|statistics)> RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$ RewriteRule ^.*$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R] </Location> I hope I didn't confuse you more than help you.
