title: Jersey authentication for SSO
body: <p>I am currently trying to access Jira REST with Jersey.
  The problem is that for our Jira a single sign on is set up.
  Authentication with "client.addFilter(new HTTPBasicAuthFilter(..." does not work.
  If I access Jira via browser and then hardcode the received cookie into Jersey I am able to access Jira REST.</p>
  
  <p>My question would now be how to login with Jersey over SSO.
  From what I can see clicking "Login" on the SSO page just sends a POST request with a request body like "username=&amp;password=&amp;login-form-type=pwd".
  So I should be able to retrieve a cookie with Jersey the same way I guess...</p>
  
  <p>Cheers!</p>
