Alfresco Web Editor - login unresponsive

I have a Web Quick Start site up and running and I am just beginning to learn how to customize it to my company's needs.  I am running into one small problem however, and that is with alfresco web editor.  Whenever I browse to a page in the editorial site that has awe startTemplate and endTemplate (like a news article) it comes up with the awe login modal dialog.  When I enter my alfresco admin credentials it says "Logging in" and then goes back to the modal login dialog without logging me in.  Is there a config that I need to set up for a specific user to be able to log in and edit content?  I am confused because it is not giving me any kind of "login unsuccessful" notification, it only returns me to the login dialog.

This is the same behavior as at the http://[hostname]:[port]/awe page, except after a login attempt the url changes to http://[hostname]:[port]/awe/page/type/login?error=true

Any help would be appreciated, any ideas?

Is any error appearing in your Tomcat logs? Are your awe.war and alfresco.war deployed on the same server?

I am using Version 4.0.b and have the same issue. There is no error appearing in my Tomcat logs and awe.war and alfresco.war are deployed on the same server. However, while loading the article page there is a request made in the background to /awe/proxy/alfresco/api/bulkmetadata that returns an 401 error. The same request is made twice when I try to login. When opening that URL manually in the browser I just get a blank page (no authorization required).

Hmm. I'm struggling to reproduce this. Are either of you able to try a build from the current HEAD or the latest nightly build to see if you still experience the problem on that?
