Error 401 : Unauthorized

Hi,

We have deployed a test application on weblogic application server and the resource with Siteminder agent. When we try to browse the resource, we are being prompted by Siteminder to submit the credentials. We enter the username and password and we get the following:

Error 401--Unauthorized xxx
From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:
10.4.2 401 Unauthorized
The request requires user authentication. The response MUST include a WWW-Authenticate header field (section 14.46) containing a challenge applicable to the requested resource. The client MAY repeat the request with a suitable Authorization header field (section 14.8). If the request already included Authorization credentials, then the 401 response indicates that authorization has been refused for those credentials. If the 401 response contains the same challenge as the prior response, and the user agent has already attempted authentication at least once, then the user SHOULD be presented the entity that was given in the response, since that entity MAY include relevant diagnostic information. HTTP access authentication is explained in section 11.

The weblogic version we are using is 11g.  The webagent.log shows " The High Level Agent authenticated user CN=......... for resource........................", and "The HTTP request contains a SMSESSION cookie and the identity asserter will handle the assertion"

Could you please share your expert solutions to fix this issue.

Thanks,
Chakri
