Hi,
I have configured my application for login authentication (FORM Based) using jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28 (Eclipse 3.1). With my configuration I don�t have any issue to get into the login page, but upon key-in the user-id and password, its not get authenticated and its going to AuthError.html page as defined as error page in the web.xml. I don�t see any error in the log files and it�s very clear that it�s an authentication issue.
Any help is very much appreciated!!!!

Note:
------
Initially (during installation) tomcat-users.xml format is different from what you are seeing above and I am not sure what setting I changed on the eclipse IDE its always falls back to above format when I restart the server.
Initital format of tomcat-users.xml:
---------------------------------------
<tomcat-users>
<user name="cst" password="cst" roles="user"/>
<user name ="w951jq9" password="starter01" roles="user"/>
<user name ="tomcat" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat"/>

<user name ="role1" password="tomcat" roles="role1"/>
