Spring Security 403 Error j_spring_security_login

StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23203101

Question

I had everything working fine the other day, but now when I go to login I get a 403 error saying the requested page is forbidden. The user is still successfully logged in, i.e. I can go back and gain access to the pages that are secure. There are not errors in the console.

login.jsp

Was it helpful?

Solution 

<security:intercept-url pattern="/**" access="denyAll" />

you write at last change sequence of it. put first of all other definition.

OTHER TIPS

Try do it as my configuration. The order url intercept order is very important:
