Hi All,


on the homepage of an application that allows the user to quickly log in

and unfortunately the form below doesn't seem to work, it basically brings
me back to the original page. Any ideas?

Thanks,

I was wondering if any of you had experience with this. I want to add a form (see below) and take them to the protected page. I've never done this before

You're submitting to an incorrect script location.


  action="j_security_check"


p

Tomcat auth, (if configured with as FORM), should be submitted to the virtual location:

     <form method="POST" action='/package/protected/index.html' >
     <table>
       <tr>
         <td>Username</td>
         <td><input type="text" class="text" name="j_username" /></td>
       </tr>
       <tr>
         <td>Password</td>
         <td><input type="password" class="text" name="j_password" /></td>
       </tr>
     </table>
     <p>
       <input type="submit" class="button" value="Login" />
     </p>
     </form>
