This was deliberately disabled to match the behavior of EAP6. It can be controlled by the proactive-authentication attribute on the servlet container. These JAPIC changes have been driven by this change, in order to get the TCK to pass without proactive auth. I will look into it today.

If you can contribute your tests it would be greatly appreciated, we do not have much coverage (and apparently neither does the TCK, as it does not pick up these issues). As I understand it if you are the sole author you retain copyright and can re-license them under whatever license you like.

Hi,

I discovered some more issues originating from 5298:

pre-emptive authentication on a public page doesn't work anymore
either. It still worked fine in WildFly 9.0.1.

This can be easily seen when running the JASPIC tests from
https://github.com/javaee-samples/javaee7-samples/tree/master/jaspic

For the basic authentication tests, the following now fail:

Failed tests:
  testPublicPageNotRememberLogin(org.javaee7.jaspic.basicauthentication.BasicAuthenticationPublicTest)
  testPublicPageLoggedin(org.javaee7.jaspic.basicauthentication.BasicAuthenticationPublicTest)

These tests don't rely on request#authenticate, but depend on
automatic calling of a SAM at the beginning of a request. After manual
inspection it's clear that the SAM is called, but its outcome is not
being applied.

Kind regards,
Arjan
