It's a basic challenge ... you can see this if you browse to the site using
chrome/jsonview, for example.
The challenge comes about from the following code in the web.xml:
<!-- authenticate user, set up an Isis session -->
<filter>
<filter-name>IsisSessionFilterForRestfulObjects</filter-name>
<filter-class>org.apache.isis.runtimes.dflt.webapp.IsisSessionFilter</filter-class>
<!-- authentication required for REST -->
<init-param>
<param-name>authenticationSessionStrategy</param-name>
<param-value>org.apache.isis.viewer.restfulobjects.viewer.authentication.AuthenticationSessionStrategyBasicAuth</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<!-- what to do if no session was found; we indicate to issue a
401 basic authentication challenge -->
<param-name>whenNoSession</param-name>
<param-value>basicAuthChallenge</param-value>
</init-param>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<!-- this is mapped to the entire app; however the
IsisSessionFilter will "notice" if the session filter has already been
executed for the request pipeline, and if so will do nothing
-->
<filter-name>IsisSessionFilterForRestfulObjects</filter-name>
<servlet-name>RestfulObjectsRestEasyDispatcher</servlet-name>
</filter-mapping>
Looking at the code of IsisSessionFilter, it looks like the realm is called
"Apache Isis".
Or (it would seem that) you can disable security by setting the param-value
for "whenNoSession" param from "basicAuthChallenge" to "continue".
