Error 404: java.io.FileNotFoundException: SRVE0190E: File not found: /j_security_check

Hello everyone,


 Today I would like to share with you one error that took 2 days to get it fixed.


Running WebSphere over a RAD eclipse environment I've configured all the details related of JDBC connection, libraries needed for the project and so on.

But it fails in LDAP piece giving an error once I try to login in my application:

Error 404: java.io.FileNotFoundException: SRVE0190E: File not found: /j_security_check

Here it's what I had in my WebSphere configured at that time for Ldap:

The problem is: when you have an LDAP authentication available for you application that's using  WebSphere 8.5, it needs as well a security enable configuration, using a valid userID and password for LDAP purposes. So, you must configure this click two times in your WebSphere App Server in the Eclipse RAD server tab.

So, once you configure it properly your app should be generating the /j_security_check file. And your Admin Console should be login only with a valid ldap_user and password as below:

I hope it helps and fix your ldap/app issues.



happy coding!!
