HTTP Status 500 - No authenticated user for dashboard url -

[diparc]

Environment:
JBoss 4.3 EAP
JBoss Portal 2.6.7

I am configuring authentication for JBoss portal and using the same authentication that is used by my web app -

Authentication works fine when i access the portal page.
However it gives me a Http 500 No authenticated user when i try to use the dashboard url(http://servername:port/portal/auth/dashboard)

I noticed the bug JBPORTAL-2178. I also modified web.xml in portal-server.war by adding /dashboard/* as suggested even though i am not accessing the dashboard like /dashboard.

still it did not help. I get the same Http 500 No authenticated user

I did not mention that I am not using any of the *IdentityLoginModule
we use directory smart and I am using a custom login module for authentication that extends UsernamePasswordLoginModule.

is it required to use one of the *IdentityLoginModules ?

in web.xml of portal-server.war, I have changed the role name from "Authenticated" to "BetaUI". this role is defined in directory smart.
However, I only have assigned this role to one user. I intend only to provide this user the portal functionality for now.

I read in the docs that all users need to be assigned this role, but I am not absolutely sure if this is required ?

I dont know what I am doing wrong - I have the portal pages authenticating correctly, but get this 500 no auth user error just for dashboard
