Spring security login error page, access denied

Question

When I login into my oauth2 protected form with invalid credentials, the redirect to the default login error page 'login?error' does not work. In my logs I can see:

2018-02-01 10:58:35.935 DEBUG 17600 --- [http-nio-8899-exec-8] w.a.UsernamePasswordAuthenticationFilter : Updated SecurityContextHolder to contain null Authentication

But after the redirect there is an 'Access denied' exception:

2018-02-01 10:58:35.943 DEBUG 17600 --- [http-nio-8899-exec-10] o.s.s.w.a.i.FilterSecurityInterceptor    : Secure object: FilterInvocation: URL: /login?error=; Attributes: [authenticated]

Followed by a redirect to the login page again '/login'

Does someone have an idea whats going wrong?

Edit: Add security configuration

@Configuration
@EnableWebSecurity
@EnableGlobalMethodSecurity(prePostEnabled = true, securedEnabled = true)
@Order(-20)
protected static class LoginConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
    ...
    @Override
    public void configure(WebSecurity web) throws Exception {
        web.ignoring().antMatchers("/static/**", "/images/**", "/fonts/**", "/health", "/info");
    }

    @Override
    protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
        // @formatter:off
        http
            .authorizeRequests()
                .antMatchers("/console/**", "/reset").permitAll()
            .and()
                .formLogin()
                .loginPage("/login")
                .permitAll()
            .and()
                .requestMatchers()
                .antMatchers("/login", "/oauth/authorize", "/oauth/confirm_access", "/reset")
            .and()
                .authorizeRequests()
                .anyRequest()
                .authenticated();
        // @formatter:on
    }
}

Another edit: When I access the oauth2 server directly without going trough Zuul, the redirect to the login error page 'login?error' page works.

Zuul's security configuration is

   @Override
public void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
    // @formatter:off
    http
        .logout()
        .permitAll()
        .logoutSuccessHandler(new HttpStatusReturningLogoutSuccessHandler(HttpStatus.OK))
    .and()
        .authorizeRequests()
        .antMatchers("/uaa/**", "/login", "/xxx/view3/**", "/*/view404", "/*/view403").permitAll()
    .and()
        .authorizeRequests()
        .antMatchers("/xxx/**/*").hasAnyRole("USER", "ADMIN")
        .antMatchers("/yyy/**/*").hasRole("ADMIN")
    .and()
        .authorizeRequests().anyRequest().authenticated()
    .and()
        .csrf().requireCsrfProtectionMatcher(csrfRequestMatcher()).csrfTokenRepository(CookieCsrfTokenRepository.withHttpOnlyFalse())
    .and()
        .exceptionHandling()
        .accessDeniedHandler(accessDeniedHandler());
    // @formatter:on
}

Edit: Added trace of requests

The solution is to add

.antMatchers("/console/**", "/reset", "/login").permitAll()

to the WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter of the uaa-service. Final working configuration

@Override
    protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
        // @formatter:off
        http
            .authorizeRequests()
                .antMatchers("/console/**", "/reset", "/login").permitAll()
            .and()
                .formLogin()
                .loginPage("/login")
                .permitAll()
            .and()
                .requestMatchers()
                .antMatchers("/login", "/oauth/authorize", "/oauth/confirm_access", "/reset")
            .and()
                .authorizeRequests()
                .anyRequest()
                .authenticated();
        // @formatter:on
    }

If someone could explain why this is necessary, this would be nice.
