      If I login to my system with a uppercase user name, then I get
      the following message.

      The user is valid, its just in uppercase.


      HTTP Status 403 - Access to the requested resource has been denied.

type Status report

message Access to the requested resource has been denied

description Access to the specified resource (Access to the requested resource has been denied) has been forbidden.
Apache Tomcat/5.5


      Anyone any ideas on how I can solve this?

          This says the user is valid but does not have permission to access the resource.

            Hey Scott,

            Thanks for the reply!

            I've just solved this myself. :-D
            Now a happy bunny.

            Solved by...


            Adding a merge file for the WAR.

            File: error-pages.xml
Contents: ...
<error-page >
<error-code >403</error-code >
<location >/jsp/invalidlogin.jsp</location >
</error-page>


            Then created a file called "invalidlogin.jsp" 

            Filename: invalidlogin.jsp
Contents:
<%session.invalidate();%>
<html><META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT="0;URL=taskList.jsf"/></html>


            taskList.jsf is the where index.html redirects to.

            So that if you are authenticated, but not authorized (i.e. putting username in capitals), then you get a 403.

            The above changes now redirect you back to the login page.
