Blank page after user cancels basic authentication

I did a lot of research into this issue but still haven't found why this is happening. When the user cancels the BASIC auth form in the browser, a blank page appears.

401 page configured in Tomcat webapp, in Firebug I see 401 Unauthorized.

Maybe some header is missing from the response?

Please, help! Thank you very much in advance.

UPDATE I think my post is not informative enough: there is also a combination of BASIC auth along with Spring Kerberos auth, and when a blank page appears, the headers are:

WWW-Authenticate Negotiate Main Realm = "MyRealm"

You can try to add the error code setting to yours web.xml

.

<error-page>
  <error-code>401</error-code>
  <location>/errors/401.jsp</location>
</error-page>


This will allow you to handle the error correctly and offer the user a runaway ...
