Symptoms

After performing LDAP integration, documentation advises to verify the integration by hitting the following url in the browser

       http://<servername>:<port>/<context>/CatalogManager?ftcmd=login&<username>=ContentServer&<password>=password

However, this yields a blank screen and an error in sites.log:

[ERROR] [.kernel.Default (self-tuning)'] [logging.cs.auth.request] Catalog Manager request authentication failed.
