I have installed opengrok OpenGrok v1.1.0 rev 0d4f4d3 on tomcat apache-tomcat-9.0.12 with java "1.8.0_172"
I use <auth-method>FROM</auth-method> and added the required lines from the documentation to support authentication via LDAP (https://github.com/oracle/opengrok/wiki/Authorization#application-deployment-descriptor)
however, I noticed that js files throw an error in the browser when this is done. To come around this, I added more lines in the web.xml as follows

   <security-constraint>
         <web-resource-collection>
         <web-resource-name>Exclude</web-resource-name>
         <url-pattern>/public/*</url-pattern>
         <url-pattern>/api/*</url-pattern>
<url-pattern>/js/*</url-pattern>
<url-pattern>/default/*</url-pattern>
         </web-resource-collection>
  </security-constraint>

note:- public is the folder where my login form resides
The page now opens okay but now the first attempt to search after the first login on a fresh browser window sends it back to the login page. Subsequent requests work fine.
localhost_access_log file from tomcat shows that after the first login, the js files requests don't hold the user id.
Everything works okay of <auth-method>BASIC</auth-method> is used?
How do i fix this?

Could you describe your setup in detail ? How exactly does the login form work ?

within the webapp, I created a folder called public and within which login2.html with contents

<html>
<head>
    <title>Login Page</title>
</head>

<h2>Hello, please log in:</h2>
<br><br>
<form action="j_security_check" method=post>
    <p><strong>Please Enter Your User Name: </strong>
    <input type="text" name="j_username" size="25">
    <p><p><strong>Please Enter Your Password: </strong>
    <input type="password" size="15" name="j_password">
    <p><p>
    <input type="submit" value="Submit">
    <input type="reset" value="Reset">
</form>
</html>

web.xml has the following lines

 <login-config>
        <auth-method>FORM</auth-method>
        <form-login-config>
                <form-login-page>/public/login2.html</form-login-page>
                <form-error-page>/public/Error_Login_Failed_Final.html</form-error-page>
        </form-login-config>
  </login-config>

let me know if you need any further information

OpenGrok itself does not support authentication. It relies on external mechanism to authenticate the users. It then performs authorization based on the information about the authenticated users in the request.
