After installing Glassfish and the APEX Listener on different servers (all windows 2003) for two different customers, I always have an issue with listenerAdmin

Here is how I do my install :

1- install glassfish by installing Java EE 6 SDK Update 3 with JDK 7 Update 1 .

2- I follow , exactly, the documented install procedure. I create the adminlistener in Admin group and managerlistener in Manager group in default-config / security / realm / file / manage users

3- I change de default location of the configuration files in web.xml in C:\glassfish3\glassfish\domains\domain1\applications\apex\WEB-INF

4- I stop and restart glassfish and reload apex

5- Default role to mapping is checked in default-config / security

6- I am able to run the listenerConfigure without any problems, the config files goes to the new directory specified in web.xml

7- Apex is running fine , but listenerAdmin gives me an http 403 error ! ?

The question is :

Why is listenerAdmin not working ? It prompts me for a username / pass , I enter the adminlistener and get the following error : HTTP Status 403 - Access to the requested resource has been denied

It does that on all my installs on windows 2003 with glassfish 3.1.1 and apex listener version 1.1.3.243.11.40


Thanks
