How to Configure WLS to Allow Requests With Invalid Basic Authentication to Access Unsecured Resources (Doc ID 1420996.1)

Last updated on MAY 08, 2023

Applies to:

Oracle WebLogic Server - Version 9.2 and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Goal

By default, authentication is performed; therefore, if authentication fails, the request is rejected.

This document covers two different ways to allow WLS to handle requests with invalid Basic Authentication credentials to access unsecured resources.
