Status Delivered
Workspace WebSphere Liberty
Created by Guest
Created on Apr 24, 2018

Support various login configurations at once in WebSphere Liberty Profile

UIs provided by Java EE applications running in WebSphere Liberty Profile should establish the current user security context based on a MP-JWT provided by security proxy that has already authenticated the user and loaded his user groups from some authorization directory. In parallel, technical HTTP-based interfaces (REST) should authenticate and authorized the calling system by other means, e.g. basic authentication. WLP currently supports only one mechanism at the same time.

    Hi, you can use the WebSphere Liberty authentication filter support to have different types of requests handled by different authentication providers. As a simple example, you can separate it by requestUrl so that certain URLs are handled by an OIDC configuration, others are handled by a SAML configuration, etc... The full support is explained here:

    https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/was-liberty/core?topic=liberty-authentication-filters

    I believe this should provide the support you are looking for, but if not, please add a comment to explain what support is still lacking for you.
