Newbie: Login page for

benkarsa Aug 6, 2003 5:02 PM

Hi,

my login page looks like this:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

Excrurec
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

Username:
Password:

After the login the server maybe tries to link to "j_security_check", but can't find the site. What is "j_security_check"? How do the login page have to look like?

I'm using JBoss 3.0.3 with Tomcat.

Hi,

I can't see any JAAS output in the JBoss' log-file. Maybe there should an output. Maybe I've configured it not correct?

Your login page is correct. However, you should not request it yourself, but go to a secured page (see web.xml); then the servlet engine will redirect you to the login page first and to the requested (secured) page after succesfull login.

Hi,

I first accessing a secured jsp that redirects me to the login page. after the input of my login data I get the following error:

18:08:28,321 INFO [Server] JBoss (MX MicroKernel) [3.0.3 Date:200209301503] Started in 1m:17s:540ms
18:09:38,337 INFO [Engine] StandardHost[localhost]: MAPPING configuration error for request URI /j_security_check

I'm using JBoss 3.0.3 with Tomcat 4.1.12 and Sun JDK 1.4.

I've got a problem with the /j_security_check "page"/buildin function.

The Browser always shows the page:
Apache Tomcat/4.1.12-LE-jdk14 - Error report <h1>HTTP Status 500 - No Context configured to process this request</h1><HR size="1" noshade>type Status reportmessage No Context configured to process this requestdescription The server encountered an internal error (No Context configured to process this request) that prevented it from fulfilling this request.<HR size="1" noshade><h3>Apache Tomcat/4.1.12-LE-jdk14</h3>

It seems that it is searching the j_security_check in the root context - if your webapp is not deployed on the root this won't work.... Are you sure that the action in the login page is without a starting '/'? If the problem persists, attach your web.xml file...

Sorry, but I can't understand your answer. My app is in excrurec.war file deployed in /server/default/deploy/.

I'm first calling page http://localhost:8080/excrurec/form/test.jsp. This links me to http://localhost:8080/excrurec/logon.html;jsessionid=521B5E38CB1FF600BAC29CDE5068168E

I really don't have a clue... This should work; can't find anything wrong in the files you posted.
What i meant in my previous post is that according to the log, it seems it is looking for http://localhost:8080/j_security_check (instead of http://localhost:8080/excrurec/j_security_check). That would cause a "no context" error (context means: web context or web application, thus the 'excrurec' part) and that would also explain the mapping configuration error.
However, i still don't get it why it would request http://localhost:8080/j_security_check, as your login.html page contains a relative path to j_security_check (good) and the form/test.jsp request is correctly redirected to excrurec/logon.html.

So the only advice i can give you is: try a different version of tomcat and/or jboss, or post the complete war so that i can try to reproduce it locally....

Regards,
Peter
