Here's an access log from a successful login using Firefox. Note the post toj_security_check returns a 302 and the id of the authenticated user shows in the returned request for a page located in the secured portion of the site. 213.20.160.134 - - [05/Apr/2011:22:44:31 -0700] "GET /catalog/dealerwelcome.jsp HTTP/1.1" 200 1870 213.20.160.134 - - [05/Apr/2011:22:44:40 -0700] "POST /catalog/authControl.jsp HTTP/1.1" 302 - 213.20.160.134 - - [05/Apr/2011:22:44:40 -0700] "GET /catalog/dealer/dealerwelcome.jsp HTTP/1.1" 200 1910 213.20.160.134 - - [05/Apr/2011:22:44:44 -0700] "POST /catalog/dealer/j_security_check HTTP/1.1" 302 - 213.20.160.134 - [email protected] [05/Apr/2011:22:44:44 -0700] "GET /catalog/dealer/dealerwelcome.jsp HTTP/1.1" 200 2391
Here's a failed attempt (phony id/password) using IENote the post to j_security_check returns a 200 and there is no returned request. 74.77.201.185 - - [05/Apr/2011:22:52:46 -0700] "GET /catalog/dealerwelcome.jsp HTTP/1.1" 200 1870 74.77.201.185 - - [05/Apr/2011:22:53:05 -0700] "POST /catalog/authControl.jsp HTTP/1.1" 302 - 74.77.201.185 - - [05/Apr/2011:22:53:05 -0700] "GET /catalog/dealer/dealerwelcome.jsp HTTP/1.1" 200 1897 74.77.201.185 - - [05/Apr/2011:22:53:12 -0700] "POST /catalog/dealer/j_security_check HTTP/1.1" 200 676 The above examples show correct results using IE and Firefox. Here's an access log from an unsuccessful login using Chrome. Note the post to j_security_check returns a 200 even though the id/password entered was a valid one. 74.77.201.185 - - [05/Apr/2011:23:35:58 -0700] "GET /catalog/dealerwelcome.jsp HTTP/1.1" 200 1870 74.77.201.185 - - [05/Apr/2011:23:36:06 -0700] "POST /catalog/authControl.jsp HTTP/1.1" 302 - 74.77.201.185 - - [05/Apr/2011:23:36:06 -0700] "GET /catalog/dealer/dealerwelcome.jsp HTTP/1.1" 200 1893 74.77.201.185 - - [05/Apr/2011:23:36:09 -0700] "POST /catalog/dealer/j_security_check HTTP/1.1" 200 676 Again, IE & Firefox work fine, Mac, Google and Safari don't.

Since I doubt that many people here really feel like going through a bunch of lines of badly-formatted configuration, code and logs to figure out exactly what is wrong, I suggest that you search Google for "tomcat form based authentication example" and use one of the numerous ones there as a reference. There is something bizarre in your explanation and data however : You say that the first part of the log is with Firefox, which works fine. However, that part contains this line : > 69.207.4.57 - [email protected] [27/Mar/2011:15:34:30 -0700] "GET > /Dynacorn/catalog/dealer/dealerwelcome.jsp HTTP/1.1" 500 2158 which shows a status code 500 (= "server error") returned by the server, while the part supposedly not working shows no such error. Another bizarre part is this : the JSP document that you show, appears to be the login page, and it contains a <form> line like this : > <form method="POST" action="<%= >response.encodeURL("j_security_check") %>"> Yet, looking at the log, it does not seem that there is ever a POST to that URL. It would look like there is some confusion about the basic way in which form authentication is supposed to work. That's also why your best bet may be to re-read the on-line documentation, and try first with one of the examples you will find in Google.
