<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi,</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have the basic authentication turned off in
tomcat and using a login.jsp to a authenticate user when the user tries to
access a restricted part of the site.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>This works perfectly in Tomcat but currently I am
configuring Apache and Tomcat so that the static content is served via
Apache.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Everything works fine except the redirection to the
login page when trying to authenticate.</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any ideas?</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Regards,</FONT> </P>
