Authentication errors using basic authentication

  • 1.  Authentication errors using basic authentication

    I developed a Custom Authentication scheme receiving user and password fields in basic format (the query method contains the instruction     response.setResponseCode(SmAuthQueryResponse.SMAUTH_CRED_BASIC);   )

    It works correctly.

    In case of failure the page returns a 401 http code, but even if I defined the statement setUserText(); the SMUSRMSG cookie is not created.

    Is there some way I can pass back a string containing the error message?
