 ### Gitblit WAR will not authenticate any users?!
 Confirm that the &lt;context-param&gt; *realm.userService* value in your `web.xml` file actually points to a `users.properties` file.
 
+### Gitblit won't open my grouped repository (/group/myrepo.git) or browse my branch/tag/ref?!
+This is likely an url encoding/decoding problem related to your servlet container's security.  There are two possible workarounds for this issue.  In `gitblit.properties` or `web.xml`:
+
+1. try setting *web.mountParameters* to *false*.<br/>This changes the url scheme from mounted (*/commit/myrepo.git/abcdef*) to parameterized (*/commit/?r=myrepo.git&h=abcdef*).
+2. try changing *web.forwardSlashCharacter* to an asterisk or a **!**
