Question : securing war file in weblogic

Hi,

I have deployed a war in weblogic 10.3 and I want authentication to it using sun directory server 6.3 through sun one web server 7.0 update 5.

without authentication, I was able to access war file from web server but after authentication, web server is looking from the docroot where there are no statis contents.
How can I do it?


Thanks
Charan

Answer : securing war file in weblogic

So since you need only webserver authentication, you dont need to configure anything in weblogic. Even LDAP is not necessary in weblogic side.

1. You have setup basic AUTH in webserver for some URL of weblogic.
2. Webserver plugin talks to weblogic
3. When you request a page in weblogic, it goes via webserver and it should throw BASIC AUTH page.
4. Once you authenticate, the requests goes to weblogic.

Turn off any LDAP integration you have done in weblogic or any other security setting.
