Hello!
I tried to deploy the Apache fediz SimpleWebApp on Tomcat 6, but I got
the following exception:
INFO: Server startup in 1411 ms

org.apache.catalina.authenticator.FormAuthenticator forwardToLoginPage

I checked the code and I'm curious about this error:
AuthenticatorBase.invoke() should call
FederationAuthenticator.authenticate(), not
FormAuthenticator.authenticate(), right?
With tomcat 7, the redirect to the login page works just fine. The
methods of FederationAuthenticator, not FormAuthenticator are used.
Does anybody know how to fix the issue with tomcat 6?
Thanks!
Steffi
