Affected Version: 2.8-rc3

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Go to the root URL of Gerrit
2. Click login
3. Enter credentials

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I would expect to be logged in and returned to the page from whence I came, however I keep repeatedly asked to log in in a never ending loop.  After entering my credentials once if I clear the URL and enter the base URL to Gerrit I will show up as logged in.

Please provide any additional information below.

My Gerrit config file:

[gerrit]
	basePath = git
	
[database]
	url = jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/gerrit?useUnicode=false&characterEncoding=latin1
	type = mysql
	username = gerrit
	password = *snip*
[auth]
	type = LDAP
[ldap]
	server = ldaps://*snip*
	accountBase = DC=*snip*
	groupBase = DC=*snip*
[sendemail]
	smtpServer = smtp-relay.gmail.com
	smtpServerPort = 465
	smtpEncryption = TLS
[container]
	user = gerrit
	javaHome = /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre
[sshd]
	listenAddress = *:29418
[httpd]
	listenUrl = http://*:8085
[cache]
	directory = cache


The URL for the login form and the form action is changing every time, losing characters:
Initial URL: /login/q/status:open,n,z form action: /login/q/status:open,n,z
Next URL: /login/q/status:op/#/q/status:open,n,z form action: /login/q/status:op/  
Next URL: /login/q/stat/#/q/status:op/ form action: /login/q/stat/
Next URL: /login/q/#/q/stat/ form action: /login/q/
