Hi Tim,

I've had SSO configured in LinuxTomcatBOE XI 3.1 SP3 +Windows AD environment following the instructions in your KB 1537480, and it works fine except the same error java.lang.IllegalStateException as the post:

Now, our BOE version is XI 4.0 SP1 (in ramp-up). It is a new installation with AIX 5.3 OS, and we still use the Tomcat bundled in BOE installation package. LDAP authentication is working and trusted authentication with QUERY_STRING also works fine.

It looks like VSJ in 4.0 is same as the version in XI 3.1 SP3. However SSO didn't work straightaway.

I couldn't find any error in kerberos traces in catalina.out, and the last line is:

INFO: access: /BOE/portal/110511/InfoView/logon/logonService.do by user: bouser1 = granted

In Tomcat log file, the error is:

SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet equinoxbridgeservlet threw exception
