Customise WWW-Authenticate header for Basic authentication

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • The browsers show a native login dialogue whenever the server returns a WWW-Authenticate: Basic xxxx header.The way to suppress this behaviour across all browsers is to change the value of the challenge from Basic to something else, for example X-Basic would work.We would like to know how can we achieve this using JBoss?
