Re: [jetty-users] application authentication

[Nils Kilden-Pedersen <nilskp@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'd like to be able to use the tools provided by the servlet spec, such as getUserPrincipal, isUserInRole, etc. on HttpServletRequest and use the HttpConstraint annotation, but without having the authentication and role assignment being done by the server (because I'd prefer to get into as little server specific setup as possible).

Depends on what you mean by application based authentication.

You can always implement authentication in a servlet filter. You can use a security framework like spring security as a filter.

You may want to provide more info of what you need to do.

Is it possible to configure application based authentication without having access to the server installation, i.e. only through the war file?
