Francesco Chicchiriccò commented on SYNCOPE-883:
------------------------------------------------
I do understand the problem, and I will report about the reasons underlying
this change, as said in mailing list.
I am not sure to agree that the issue is about not being able to access REST
services via browser: if this is your need, please use the Swagger UI extension
which enables plain web browsers with much, much more than simple GET
requests...

> Key: SYNCOPE-883
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SYNCOPE-883
> Project: Syncope
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0-M4
> Reporter: Colm O hEigeartaigh
> Fix For: 2.0.0
>
>
> With the latest 2.0.0-SNAPSHOT, I noticed that accessing the REST API without
> supplying a username/password returns 403 as opposed to the old 401.
> wget http://localhost:9080/syncope/rest/users
> --2016-06-28 15:40:01-- http://localhost:9080/syncope/rest/users
> Resolving localhost (localhost)... 127.0.0.1
> Connecting to localhost (localhost)|127.0.0.1|:9080... connected.
> HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 403
> 2016-06-28 15:40:01 ERROR 403: (no description).
> Whereas with 1.2.7:
> wget http://localhost:9080/syncope/rest/users
> --2016-06-28 15:29:42-- http://localhost:9080/syncope/rest/users
> Resolving localhost (localhost)... 127.0.0.1
> Connecting to localhost (localhost)|127.0.0.1|:9080... connected.
> HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 401 Unauthorized
> Username/Password Authentication Failed.
> This means that if you open up a web browser and try to access say:
> http://localhost:9080/syncope/rest/users
> a pop-up windows does not appear for the user to enter the user/password.
