Thanks for the response yet, There is no limitation regarding special characters. I just have to make sure and encode my query string properly. By fails I meant that the app gets forwarded to the value set in my tag.

Form Authentication Illegal Characters
Hello All: I am using Tomcat 6.0.26. My application has a context.xml file that defines an org.apache.catalina.authenticator.FormAuthenticator Valve and an org.apache.catalina.realm.DataSourceRealm Realm which I use for authentication. My login page functions in typical FormAuthentication manner by passing the j_username and j_password parameters to j_security_check Currently, authentication fails if the character # (pound sign) is contained within a username. Has anybody come across this limitation? I am working with another system that stores all @ symbols as # signs, so the likely hood of someone using an email address as their username is good. When I query my USERS table directly, I can locate any username that has a # sign in it, so it seems that this is a tomcat related issue. Just wanted to see if someone has experienced this and if there is a solution/workaround for this. Thanks, Beau
