Have to Login Twice to Enter the Application Main Page

[Hua, Gary - Saint Louis, MO - Contractor]

Tomcat Experts:

       I deployed my web application TOPS in to our DEV web server.     I start 
the web server 9.0.13,  and enter the application URL,, the login screen show 
up.

       I entered the LoginID/Password and click the "Login" button,   the log 
on the catalina.out is:

23-Jul-2019 16:59:49.752 FINE [https-jsse-nio-9443-exec-8]

      The LoginID and Password text box were cleared, and I have to enter 
LoginID/Password again, and then click "Login" button,   now it allow me to go 
to the application main home page. The log on the catalina.out is:

23-Jul-2019 17:14:31.130 FINE [https-jsse-nio-9443-exec-8]

The login-config in web.xml:

        <login-config>
                <auth-method>FORM</auth-method>
                <realm-name>SecureRealm</realm-name>
                <form-login-config>
                        <form-login-page>/F_login.jsp</form-login-page>
                        <form-error-page>/notAuthenticated.jsp</form-error-page>
                </form-login-config>
        </login-config>





       So the question is:    why the first time I click the "Login" button  it 
didn't get any roles for the login user (It suppose to connect to LDAP for 
authentication),  and I have to login one more time to get it?


Thanks
