Hi, I too have the same problem, and <property name="referral" value="follow" /> did not help, unfortunately. It's very frustrating, I tried with Jasper 6.1.1, 6.2.0, and now 6.3, and on different machines, and still got the same result: the LDAP is user is found, all seems ok, but we're stuck at this j_spring_security_check page. If someone has the solution to this, please reply. Thanks.
