Hey,
I have a <security-constraint> config in web.xml that asks for BASIC
authentication on /admin/* path (follows bellow).
The user is prompted to enter username/password, as expected, but
cannot login as the credentials are not defined anywhere. How can I
intercept this and do my own authentication, e.g. using
SecurityContext in ContainerRequestFilter? Can't figure out how/if
it's related to <security-constraint>.
<security-constraint>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>Administration</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>/admin/*</url-pattern>
<http-method>GET</http-method>
<http-method>POST</http-method>
<http-method>HEAD</http-method>
<http-method>PUT</http-method>
<http-method>OPTIONS</http-method>
<http-method>TRACE</http-method>
<http-method>DELETE</http-method>
</web-resource-collection>
<auth-constraint>
<role-name>admin</role-name>
</auth-constraint>
</security-constraint>
<login-config>
<auth-method>BASIC</auth-method>
<realm-name>jaxrs</realm-name>
</login-config>
<security-role>
<role-name>admin</role-name>
</security-role>
