Environment :
Spring 4.1
Spring security 4.0
Issue :
I am developing a simple REST service using Spring 4.1. And using Spring security for authentication purpose. I am using HTTP Basic Authentication.
The issue is , basic authentication is not working even after all configuration is correct. I am using postman to send a request to server. REST client can call the REST controller method without Authorization header. The method gets executed successfully without any authentication error.
Since I am using Tomcat 6 , I am not using servlet 3.0 features , so web.xml does exist.
The method level security has been implemented using @Secured annotation on REST controller layer.
Can anybody please help as to where I am going wrong ?
