One login for web app and underlying REST webservice

[Basic Danijel <da...@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

I'm currently developing web app running on karaf. The app has the frontend
written in Angular JS and the backend is REST webservice (CXF JAX-RS).

The requirement is that all pages have to be secured. I decided to go with
FORM based authentication (configured in web.xml).
For CXF REST webservice I
use org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.security.JAASAuthenticationFilter (configured in
blueprint.xml).

Both parts are configured to use the same realm.

The problem is the following: when I try to access a protected page, I need
to log in twice (server and cxf authentication).

How can I get rid of this problem, ie. to have only server authentication
(and automatically be authenticated on REST part)?

Btw, if I use BASIC authentication, then one login appears and everything
is working as expected.

Regards,
Danijel
