We are testing our webapps on a locally installed WAS4 (Win2000)

I have added 'basic authentication' with 2 roles on a webapp.
roleA includes userA, roleB includes userB

I can load the application when using userA but not when using userB.
This is the error in AdminConsole:

SECJ0129A: Authorization failed for pgo while invoking POST on
default_host:/myApp/myServlet, Authorization failed, Not granted any of
the required roles: Role1 Role2

When I replace userB in roleB with userC, I can load the application
without security violations.  This means, there nothing wrong with the
configuration of both EA and WebModule.  Also other users are treated
normally (have or haven't access).

The user which is not accepted is my own userid which is used to logon on
my system and has administrator rights.
I have tried to add the group 'administrators' to the role, but it doesn't
help.
But when I change access of webapp to 'AllAuthenticated', this userB is
accepted...
