Custom error page when tomcat authentication fails
Hi people, i have this problem trying to get a custom error page when client authentication fails:

I had configured successfully my tomcat with client authentication using certificates, and now I would like to redirect the user to a custom error page when authentication fails, but I always get a 400 not found error if this happens.

I already tried to set my error page for 400 error code in web.xml but I can't get it to work.
Shouldn't be 403 (forbidden) the error when authentication fails?
Somewhere I read that the socket connection is terminated by tomcat before i can send the user anywhere, and thats why i don't get the redirection.

Here is part of my web.xml... Any idea?
(I entered some blank spaces to be able to show the xml tags)
Thanks in advance.

<login-config>
<auth-method>CLIENT-CERT</auth-method>
<realm-name>certificate</realm-name>
</login-config>

<error-page>
<error-code>400</error-code>
<location>/static/html/errorcert.html</location>
</error-page>

PH: I also tried the error-page tag in the login-config section with the same results.

sasl_server_step

sasl_server_step(3)						  SASL man pages					       sasl_server_step(3)

NAME

       sasl_server_step - Perform a step in the authentication negotiation

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sasl/sasl.h>

       int sasl_server_step(sasl_conn_t *conn,
			   const char *clientin,
			   unsigned clientinlen,
			const char ** serverout,
			   unsigned * serveroutlen);

DESCRIPTION

       sasl_server_step()  performs  a	step  in  the  authentication  negotiation.  It returns SASL_OK if the whole negotiation is successful and
       SASL_CONTINUE if this step is ok but at least one more step is needed.

       conn is the SASL connection context

       clientin is the data given by the client (decoded if the protocol encodes requests sent over the wire) clientinlen is the  length  of  cli-
       entin

       serverout and serveroutlen are set by the library and should be sent to the client.

RETURN VALUE

       sasl_server_step  returns  an  integer which corresponds to one of the SASL error codes. SASL_CONTINUE indicates success and that there are
       more steps needed in the authentication. SASL_OK indicates that the authentication is complete. All other return codes indicate errors  and
       should either be handled or the authentication session should be quit.

CONFORMING TO

       RFC 4422
