Form-based authentication doesn't work

           Summary: Form-based authentication doesn't work
           Product: Tomcat 5
           Version: 5.0.4
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other
         Component: Catalina
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: hans@gefionsoftware.com


The action value "j_security_check" for a form element in a login page,
configured to be used for the form-based authentication method, gives "404 The
requested resource (j_security_check) is not available."

Also, the login page is returned by doing a forward instead of a redirect. This
means that relative paths in the login page can not be resolved. The spec is
vague about how the login page should be delivered, so this may be okay, but I
bet it takes many users by surprise.

In TC 5.0.2, this worked fine.
