Configure your repo.xml file

Add the beans authenticationProvider and fad to your repo.xml file, and make the modeshapeRepofactory bean dependent on authenticationProvider. Use the class org.fcrepo.auth.ServletContainerAuthenticationProvider as your authentication provider. Here is an example repo.xml that configures authentication and authorization using the Basic Roles authorization delegate.

To specify a local repo.xml configuration, provide the system property as follows:

Code Block
JAVA_OPTS="... -Dfcrepo.spring.repo.configuration=file:/local/repo.xml"

Code Block

language	xml
title	repo.xml with authentication configured

    <bean class="org.fcrepo.metrics.MetricsConfig"/>
</beans>

Configure your repository.json file

Modify the security section to enable both authenticated (via authentication provider) and internal sessions between Fedora and ModeShape.

To specify a local repository.json configuration, provide the system property as follows:

Code Block
JAVA_OPTS="... -Dfcrepo.modeshape.configuration=file:/local/repository.json"

It should contain a "security" element that matches this block:

Code Block

language	ruby
title	repository.json security

"security" : {        
        "anonymous" : {
            "roles" : ["readonly","readwrite","admin"],
            "useOnFailedLogin" : false
        },
        "providers" : [
            { "classname" : "org.fcrepo.auth.common.ServletContainerAuthenticationProvider" }
        ]
    },

Configure your web.xml

Configure your web.xml.

Modify fcrepo-webapp/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml by uncommenting the security configuration

Code Block

  <!--Uncomment section below to enable Basic-Authentication-->
  <security-constraint>
    <web-resource-collection>
      <web-resource-name>Fedora4</web-resource-name>
      <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>

      <http-method>PUT</http-method>

      <http-method>PATCH</http-method>
      <http-method>GET</http-method>

      <role-name>fedoraUser</role-name>

  </security-constraint>
  <login-config>
    <auth-method>BASIC</auth-method>
    <realm-name>fcrepo</realm-name>
  </login-config>

Note
The "auth-constraint" element must contain the roles defined as your users (see below for jetty and tomcat).
