Are you using the
1. WebService Service Security Provider in GlassFish ?.
2. Or are you using Metro Style WebServices Security with WS-Policies ?.
If the type of authentication you are using is not BASIC, but
SOAPMessage security instead (by using 1 or 2 above), then you have two
options to specify the realm to be used
1. Make the realm that you want to use to be the default realm
2. OR Package your WAR into an EAR and specify the realm to be used in
sun-application.xml
If the Secure WebService is using BASIC Authentication then i guess you
already know where to specify the realm (inside the web.xml <login-config>)
