I am working on an integrated solution, where we integrate multiple products under a single layer. This layer takes care of the user authentication and acts as a single window through which I can access all the underlying products.
I am done with the single sign on (upper layer's authentication). But, after this, each product's login page shows up. Commenting out the 'security-constraint/login-config' from the web.xml solves the problem. But, I should not comment it out, as the products can exist standalone even without this layer.
I would like to add a filter sort of thing which enables/disables the security-constraint based on a system property.
- When my layer authenticates(a system property can identify this), the security-constraint should be ignored.
- When my layer is not there, the security-constraint should get activated.
Any help is highly appreciated, as I have already spent a lot of time without any success on this.
