> Key: CXF-6206
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-6206

> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core, Transports
> Reporter: Christian Schneider

> Currently we return a Fault with a AuthenticationException when JAAS login fails.
> The proper response would be a 401 status with a suitable WWW-Authenticate header.
> I experimented with turning the AuthenticationException into a 401 response in the http transport. Not sure where to take auth type and realm from though. I am also not sure how to distinguish basic auth from WSS Security UsernameToken. As in the second case 401 is probably not correct.
