ADF security - prompt for user id and password again on page forward

Question

Hi,
I am working with ADF using JDeveloper 10.1.3 with Business Components and ADF Faces.
I have a Search page and a List page.
Both pages are based on the same view within the same application module.
The Search page is using the default Find and Execute Operations.
The Execute button has an action that navigate to the List screen.
faces-config.xml
<navigation-rule>
<from-view-id>/jspx/search.jspx</from-view-id>
<navigation-case>
<from-outcome>search</from-outcome>
<to-view-id>/jspx/list.jspx</to-view-id>
<redirect/>
</navigation-case>
</navigation-rule>
<navigation-rule>
<from-view-id>/jspx/list.jspx</from-view-id>
<navigation-case>
<from-outcome>find</from-outcome>
<to-view-id>/jspx/search.jspx</to-view-id>
<redirect/>
</navigation-case>
</navigation-rule>
Security (Roles and Users) is based on the jazn-data.xml and web.xml
URL Patterns for the pages have assigned to the role.
Login Configuration is HTTP Digest Authentication
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>APP_SUPPORT</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>faces/jspx/search.jspx</url-pattern>
<url-pattern>faces/jspx/list.jspx</url-pattern>
</web-resource-collection>
<auth-constraint>
<role-name>APP_SUPPORT</role-name>
</auth-constraint>
<login-config>
<auth-method>DIGEST</auth-method>
</login-config>
Everything is fine when running the application from JDeveloper,
but when the application is deployed to the server (OC4J),
After logging into the system, the Search page prompt for user id and password again
on click of the Execute button.
Have anyone experience this problem before?
Thanks for any help.

Hi,
does the same thing happen if you change your protected resource from:
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>APP_SUPPORT</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>faces/jspx/search.jspx</url-pattern>
<url-pattern>faces/jspx/list.jspx</url-pattern>
</web-resource-collection>to:
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>APP_SUPPORT</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>/faces/jspx/*</url-pattern>
</web-resource-collection>Brenden
