This is probably because you went directly to the form login page, and
you are using Tomcat's built-in container-managed authentication and
authorization.

Instead of sending the user directly to the login-page, try sending them
to a protected URL (like /myApp/someProtectedPage). This will cause
Tomcat to display the login page itself (which is actually required),
and then the login should work.

Technically, the 408 is probably because of the timing of your testing.
If you waited like 1 hour between requests, you'd get a different error
like "unexpected login at this time" or a 404 because j_security_check
isn't a valid URL unless the container is expecting it. It's a bit odd,
but the servlet specification does not allow for "drive-by" logins, and
so Tomcat does not implement them.

Hmm. That's a bit odd. You might want to disable cookies in your browser
during testing, because they can confuse things sometimes by linking a
minutes-old session with a "new" login you are attempting.

Try the protected-page trick above and let us know how things go.
