Hi Christian, oh yes I can see, adding the JAASAuthenticationFeature to the cxf bus is required *in addition *to adding the JAASLoginInterceptor. I was not getting desired result after Phase 1 so that makes sense.
I added a very simple example to GitHub <https://github.com/bertramn/jaas-auth-rest-example> for anyone interested. Thanks a lot for help, much appreciated!
