PROBLEM SUMMARY

USERS AFFECTED:
 IBM WebSphere Application Server version
6.1 users.

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
When the session security check fails
authentication, the exception message
is not found in a regular log file
(a log file that has no trace string
set).

RECOMMENDATION:
None

JavaServer Pages (JSP) container catches the exception but
suppresses it.  Thus no message is logged in the trace file.

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:                                             
The JSP code was modified to log the exception message.         
The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in    
fix pack 6.1.0.19
