      Possible workarounds:

      • use JBoss CLI with Undertow rewrite filter or expression-filter, aka:
      /subsystem=undertow/configuration=filter/rewrite=test-rewrite-slash:add(redirect="true",target="%U/")
/subsystem=undertow/server=default-server/host=default-host/filter-ref=test-rewrite-slash:add(predicate="equals(%R,/context)")

      or 

      /subsystem=undertow/configuration=filter/expression-filter=app-slash:add(expression="redirect('%U/')")
/subsystem=undertow/server=default-server/host=default-host/filter-ref=app-slash:add(predicate="method(GET) and regex(pattern=/context, value=%U, full-match=true)")
      • modify the login.jsp file to send the POST always inside the context path:
        <form method="post" action="/context/j_security_check" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded">
    Username <input type="text" name="j_username" /><br />
    Password <input type="password" name="j_password" />
    <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Login" />
  </form>

      • Use EAP 7.2.5 or later (but issue should be also reproducible on 7.2.4)
      • Have a simple servlet application secured with a "FORM" login auth-method
      • Access the application root context path without a trailing slash (e.g. "https://localhost:8443/context" )

      Use EAP 7.2.5 or later (but issue should be also reproducible on 7.2.4) Have a simple servlet application secured with a "FORM" login auth-method Access the application root context path without a trailing slash (e.g. "https://localhost:8443/context" )

      When accessing an application that uses a "FORM" based login auth-method, the app root context parg (e.g "/context") is not redirected anymore with a trailing slash (e.g to "/context/").
      This leads the "J_security_check" to be checked on the uri path "/j_security_check" instead of "/context/j_security_check" and hence causing an HTTP-404 Not Found error.
