j_acegi_cas_security_check 404

[Paul Newport]

I have been running my CAS secured app on a local copy of Websphere 6, with CAS running on Tomcat. This all works fine.

I have now deployed to a Websphere cluster (2 servers) fronted by another server running IBM Http Server (aka APACHE).

I type in the URL of my app:

http://httpserveripaddress/App/index.html

it is redirected to a CAS signon screen and I log on.

CAS then redirects back to the web server fronting the two nodes in the cluster:

http://httpserveripaddress/App/_aceg...byWhHQc70HW-20

At this point I get a Error 404: SRVE0190E: File not found: /j_acegi_cas_security_check

bear in mind the actual app will be running on a websphere node behind the web server, and the web server should forward the request to a node in its cluster. It looks like the web server isn't even forwarding this on to a websphere node, though it obviously is when I request my original URL that is protected by CAS.

Any ideas ?

At this point I get a Error 404: SRVE0190E: File not found: /j_acegi_cas_security_check

Just in case anyone else gets this, it's caused by a bug in Websphere, for which there is a fix. The clue is that SRVE0190E is a Websphere error message not a web server error.
