23.4.3. Securing resources

You can enable the Seam authentication filter for HTTP Basic and Digest authentication in components.xml:

<web:authentication-filter url-pattern="/seam/resource/rest/*" auth-type="basic"/>

<web:authentication-filter url-pattern="/seam/resource/rest/*" auth-type="basic"/>

See the Seam security chapter on how to write an authentication routine.

After successful authentication, authorization rules with the common @Restrict and @PermissionCheck annotations are in effect. You can also access the client Identity, work with permission mapping, and so on. All regular Seam security features for authorization are available.
