> I've tried to implement the basic authentication scheme for a servlet in my project. It was obvious, that I'll need to use HttpContext for that, but I felt that something like the basic auth or digest should be included in the system by default.
> I did not found anything on the net about an OSGi HttpContext implementing BasicAuth so I created a very basic one. The only thing it supports is authentication against a static list of users.
> You'll need to extend it and read the users from somewhere. It may need lot of polishing as currently the users are stored in a map inside the context, but should be extracted to some kind of Realm object and let the authentication/authorization be done there. But this would have been an overkill for my purpose.
> Example:
> @Component
> @Service
> @Property(name="contextId", value="VIRIF")
> public class VIRHttpContext extends BasicAuthHttpContext {
>     public VIRHttpContext() {
>         super( "VIRIF" );
>         loadUserAndPassword(  );
>     }
> ...
> }
> and then annotate the servlet:
> @Component
> @Service
> @Properties({
>     @Property(name = "alias", value = "/vir"),
>     @Property(name = "contextId", value = "VIRIF")
> })
> public class SecuredCommandServlet extends HttpServlet {
> }
> ps. The examples uses the whiteboard bundle and the SCR maven plugin. The implementation uses commons lang and codec. Maybe they can be refactored out.
