Forms based authentication failure with rest API

Products

• Data Loss Prevention

Issue/Introduction

When using rest applications we see repeated forms based failures before authenticating with Kerberos. 

Environment

Release : 15.8

Component :

Cause

This is due to the order authentication mechanisms exist in the SpringSecurityContext.xml file 

Resolution

The forms based authentication failures can be ignored. 
To prevent them all together you would need to modify the springsecuritycontext.xml to remove or move the forms based authentication modules. However this will prevent the DLP Administrator account from being used.
