Dear all,

I would appreciate it if anyone teach me how to enable digest
authentication in JBoss 5.1.0 GA?

Though I tried to execute digest authentication in JBoss 5.1.0 GA
including the following web.xml,
"Bad password for username=yagi" was displayed on a JBoss console
enabling "DEBUG".

Next, after trying to input the username and the hashed password on web browser,
the authentication has passed.

I think basic authentication has operated in this JBoss, not digest
authentication.

web.xml:

<web-app>
  <login-config>
    <auth-method>DIGEST</auth-method>
    <realm-name>SampleRealm</realm-name>
  </login-config>


  <security-role>
    <role-name>AuthorizedUsers</role-name>
  </security-role>


  <security-constraint>
    <web-resource-collection>
      <web-resource-name>restricted contents</web-resource-name>
      <url-pattern>/HelloServlet/*</url-pattern>
    </web-resource-collection>
    <auth-constraint>
      <role-name>AuthorizedUsers</role-name>
    </auth-constraint>
  </security-constraint>
</web-app>

Regards,
Yagishita
