Hi,

We are using Tomcat5 along with Weblogic8.1. In our application
when user login by using there LDAP user id/pwd sometime they
are getting error message like Invalid UserID/PWD even though they
enter correct user/pwd. and when they again try to login they wll be able to login to the application. Following are the error that we are getting :
