The GUI controls for adminconsole login panel were incorrectly handled as protected resources when "Authenticate when any URI is accessed" is set. The bug was fixed. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix pack 9.5.0.2. Please refer to the Recommended Updates page for delivery information: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss? rs=180&uid=swg27004980
Temporary fix
Try default setting : "Authenticate only when the URI is protected" along with "Use available authentication data when an unprotected URI is accessed". This setting is usually better in performance and achieve the same goal.
