Basic Authentication Sample

The simple servlet sample with added security - it prompts you for credentials before displaying the test web page.

Running in Eclipse

1. Download and install Eclipse with the WebSphere Developer Tools.
2. Create a new Liberty Profile Server. See step 3 for details.
3. Clone this repository.
4. Import the sample into Eclipse using File -> Import -> Maven -> Existing Maven Projects option.
5. Right click on the project and go to Properties > Project Facets and select Dynamic Web Module (if not already selected).
6. Deploy the sample into Liberty server. Right click on the servlet sample and select Run As -> Run on Server option. Find and select the Liberty profile server and press Finish.
7. Go to: http://localhost:9080/basicauth

Running with Maven

This project can be built with Apache Maven. The project uses Liberty Maven Plug-in to automatically download and install Liberty with Java EE7 Web Profile runtime from Maven Central. Liberty Maven Plug-in is also used to create, configure, and run the application on the Liberty server.

Use the following steps to run the application with Maven:

1. Execute full Maven build. This will cause Liberty Maven Plug-in to download and install Liberty profile server.

   $ mvn clean install

2. To run the server with the Servlet sample execute:

   $ mvn liberty:run-server

Once the server is running, the application will be available under http://localhost:9080/basicauth.
