The Apache Software Foundation reports:
When using FORM authentication it was possible to bypass the security
constraint checks in the FORM authenticator by appending
โ/j_security_checkโ to the end of the URL if some other component
(such as the Single-Sign-On valve) had called request.setUserPrincipal()
before the call to FormAuthenticator#authenticate().
