How to manipulate response status in deadbolt onAuthFailure

Question

I'm using deadbolt library for authentication in my playframewrok server app which holds api for some other frontend application. In MyDeadboltHandler class in onAuthFailure method when user isn't authenticated I want to return status 403 with next piece of code:

@Override
public F.Promise<Result> onAuthFailure(Http.Context context, String content) {
    return F.Promise.pure(unauthorized("Authentication Failed"));
}

however in my frontend application (Angular 1.5) in my error handler Im getting response which is some generic error with error status code -1 How can I change my method this to get normal 403 error status in response?

That sounds more like a value emitted from Angular itself. If you use developer tools in your browser, you should see the incoming response and it should be a 401 (unauthorized). From here, you should be able to find the Angular code that's dealing with this.

You should also consider varying the response based on whether a subject is present. If a subject is present, return a 403; if a subject isn't present, return a 401.
