You guess is wrong. Everything is working exactly as it should.
FORM authentication requires a session to work whereas BASIC does not.
You have not configured your 2 Tomcat instances for session replication
(get your test page to print out the session ID to confirm this). If you
don't want a second login when you move from node 1 to node 2, you'll
need to configure session replication (aka clustering).
Or maybe as a workaround : since you are using a front-end Apache httpd + mod_jk anyway,
if you do the authentication at the Apache httpd front-end level, then mod_jk will forward
the Apache-known userid to Tomcat through AJP, with each request.
You then set the
tomcatAuthentication="false" on the Tomcat AJP Connector, and Tomcat will accept the
userid as forwarded by Apache/mod_jk.
That may be simpler and more efficient than setting up Tomcat clustering just
for this reason.
