How can you authenticate using the Jersey Client against a JAAS enabled web-server?

Question

I have the following scenario:

Server: Jetty (with configured JAAS)

Client: Jersey invoked via JUnit (via Maven)

I have JAAS set up in the web server

Answer 1

Autorization for JAAS:

    String URL_DATA = "http://localhost:9080/foo/auth.html";
    Client client = Client.create();

    String username = "me";
    String password = "me";

    client.addFilter(new HTTPBasicAuthFilter(username, password));

    // Get the protected web page:
    WebResource webResource = client.resource(URL_DATA);
    String response = webResource.get(String.class);
    System.out.println(response);
