I have been trying to follow the bits and pieces of docs that describe how to configure a DataSource, and then configure a Basic Authentication security constraint, against that DataSource.
When I access the protected URL, instead of getting "401 Auth Required", I get "400 The request sent by the client was syntactically incorrect" instead.
No error messages are logged anywhere.
Anyone know what I am doing wrong?
My web.xml includes this:
<resource-ref> <description>Patricia Datasource</description> <res-ref-name>jdbc/patricia</res-ref-name> <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type> <res-auth>Container</res-auth> </resource-ref>
<security-constraint>
<display-name>Patricia Security Constraint</display-name>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>Protected Area</web-resource-name>
<!-- Define the context-relative URL(s) to be protected -->
<url-pattern>/*.do</url-pattern>
<!-- If you list http methods, only those methods are protected -->
<http-method>DELETE</http-method>
<http-method>GET</http-method>
<http-method>POST</http-method>
