Hi,
I’m trying to add basic authentication to my REST apis. unfortunately the documentation is not clear in this regard. I created a folder WEB-INF inside webapp and inside it I created a file web.xml where I pasted the filters specified here Configure Authentication | docs.camunda.org
However, this doesn’t seem to work. It feels like I’m missing something somewhere. I build & deployed my process successfully without errors but I still can access the built-in REST apis without authentication
any detailed references on this subject?
Can you please provide some details on your setup? Are the Camunda REST API resources deployed via camunda-engine-rest.war (or similar name), or do you embed the resources in your application?
Cheers,
Thorben
I have solved the problem. it turns out I modified the wrong web.xml. I should modify the engine-rest web.xml file
Hello Sir,
Can you please provide all detail steps to achieve Basic authentication?

Hi @somnath_shewale,
navigate to the folder server\apache-tomcat-9.0.24\webapps\engine-rest\WEB-INF in your unzipped directory. Open the file web.xml in an editor and remove the comments around the lines 38-57 (<filter> ... </filter-mapping>)
Restart the server and postman should answer the requests with status code 401 (unauthorized).
Hope this helps, Ingo
