Hi Julie,
In your web.xml file if you specify auth-method FORM you have to give it two
form names like so:
<auth-method>FORM</auth-method>
<form-login-config>
<form-login-page>/login.htm</form-login-page>
<form-error-page>/loginFailed.htm</form-error-page>
</form-login-config>
You only use realm-name if you are using the BASIC authentication scheme.
You have to provide the pages for form-login and form-error. In the login
page you must have a form with action j_security_check, like so.
<form name="login" method="post" action="j_security_check">
That form has to have a field called j_username and another called
j_password.
Does your Sybase driver info work without security? Also you may not want
to digest your passwords until you get everything else working to eliminate
that as the source of the error.
To get details on setting up the web.xmlfile and server.xml files download
the Servlet 2.3 specification from java.sun.com.
It's fairly short and is in pdf format.
Hope this helps,
Rick
