When trying to login as a registered user in LDAP Server, wrong username or password redirect successfully to error page, However when they are correct it didn't grant the user the access with the following error:
HTTP Status 403 - Forbidden.
I'm coding my pages in JSF.
My Glassfish console looks like this.
My web.xml like this :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

My sun-web.xml has this:

I solved it. the problem was with the uppercase letters for roles in the web.xml
