[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (WFLY-4304) Servlet authentication kicked off when *not* a part of any security-constraint

Brett Meyer created WFLY-4304: --------------------------------- Summary: Servlet authentication kicked off when *not* a part of any security-constraint Key: WFLY-4304 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-4304 Project: WildFly Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 8.2.0.Final Reporter: Brett Meyer Assignee: Jason Greene Priority: Critical Artificer runs on Wildfly 8.2 and uses Keycloak for auth. If our WAR contains a servlet that is *not* protected by a security-constraint in web.xml, Wildfly still attempts to authenticate the call (using Wireshark, I see the GET/POST get funneled through the Keycloak realm redirection) if basic auth credentials are in the header. In a keycloak-dev thread this past Dec., [~bill.burke] suggested this was most likely an issue within Wildfly auth itself. A credentialed call on an un-protected servlet does sound like an edge case. However, this came up possibly due to a secondary symptom: If I protect the servlet in web.xml, the call's Authorization header is stripped. I'm not currently able to figure out exactly where that's occurring... -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.11#6341)
