Preventing Weblogic from processing an Acegi Basic authentication
Mon, 7 Apr 2008 08:49:17 -0700
Hi,

I'm facing a problem with a web-application I'm trying to deploy on Weblogic 8.1
SP6.
The web-application uses the Acegi framework, and in particular, it uses the
Basic Authentication filter.

When I deploy the application in Weblogic, the filter is correctly triggered,
and Acegi sends a response to require the credential.

However, as soon as I enter the credentials, the Weblogic authentication is
triggered (I guess this because of the header that contains authentication
data), and weblogic asks me to authenticate.

However, I don't want to use Weblogic authentication, I want to stick with the
one provided by Acegi. Would you know if there is a way to prevent Weblogic from
popping the basic authentication dialog and completely delegate it to Acegi? (I
have tested the application with Tomcat and it works fine).

Also, this question has already been asked once on this forum one year ago, but
without any response (http://forums.bea.com/thread.jspa?threadID=600008657)

I would really be grateful for any help!

Best regards,
