Triggering authentication programmatically from a jax-rs call

[thew...@gmail.com]

I have a need to trigger authentication programmatically from a jax-rs call (under dropwizard, jersey). This needs to happen as a result of an exception being thrown from within certain jax-rs calls. How can I then make pac4j initiate an authentication when this event happens, so the client (here a curl script) would authenticate and then re-try the request?

Hi,

Generally, you target a protected URL to trigger an authentication process.

This URL is protected with a @Pacj4Security annotation and the SecurityFilter behind.

So if you want to do things manually, you need to reproduce the behavior from this component which is globally: call the SecurityLogic with the right parameters. Take a look at the source code.

Thanks.

Best regards,

Jérôme

Thanks. Yes, I went the route of adding a protected URL, since I had to find a solution here. Also, that seems like the cleanest and easiest way.
