I have a Jboss 7.1.1 server exposing SOAP Web Services. Currently they are authenticated usin http-BASIC authentication as declared in the service class

  @WebContext(authMethod = "BASIC",...) 

The associated security domain config is as follows :

<security-domain name="myDomain" cache-type="...">

     <authentication>

      <login-module code="..." flag="sufficient" module="..."> //code extending from UsernamePasswordLoginModule

          <module-option name="hashAlgorithm" value="SHA-1"/>

          <module-option name="hashCharset" value="UTF-8"/>

          <module-option name="ignorePasswordCase" value="false"/>

          <module-option name="hashStorePassword" value="false"/>    

          <module-option name="hashUserPassword" value="true"/>

     </login-module>

     </authentication>

</security-domain>

I want to use http-DIGEST authentication method instead. Can I do something like - @WebContext(authMethod = "DIGEST",...) , what would be the required changes in the standalone.xml ? Or any other better way that any one can suggest.

Also, I would like to know that since I am using BASIC http authentication currently then is the security domain config given above necessary or not. Since BASIC authentication is not using any hash algorithm.

Thanks
