logout w/ WebSpherePreAuth

[tsandor]

Hi,
I've configured websphere preAuthenticationFilter successfully on a WAS 6.1.0.15. I configured basic authentication in web.xml that validates against a WebSphere custom UserRegistry.

My question is that if I enable logoutFilter

<security:http>
...
<security:logout />
...
</security:http>

and invoke:

<a href="${ctx}/j_spring_security_logout">Logout</a>

I get a

java.io.FileNotFoundException: /j_spring_security_logout

Is it possible to logout when using preAuthentication?

Thanks for help.
Regards,
Thomas

Please search the forum, issue tracker and web. This is a common problem with websphere and has been discussed before.

I've already done, just before I've posted my question. The closest thing I've found was this, but it is not related to the logoutFilter, and especially not when running the latest WebSphere patch (6.1.0.15). You'll see there's form-login by spring security, and not basic login from web.xml (no preauth at all).
Please point me some URLs to check.
Thanks,

The login mechanism shouldn't be relevant. The question is basically can you browse to a URL which is handled by a filter and from what you've posted that looks pretty much the same as the other threads on websphere (usually the complaint is about the login URL but that isn't relevant here, since you are already logged in).

even whith last fix for WAS 6.1 you still need to define invokefilterscompatibility property in WAS
