title: How do I get basic authentication working on WebSphere?
body: <p>Okay, so I've been running a Java/Jersey webservice on Tomcat with basic authentication which works perfectly fine. I've got permissions set up in the web.xml file of my project, and users set up in tomcat-users.xml on the server. Works great.<br>
  Problem is, now I have to transfer this project to WebSphere, which has nowhere near as simple of an implementation of basic authentication.</p>
  
  <p>I've seen this question: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/221629/websphere-6-1-and-basic-authentication">Websphere 6.1 and BASIC Authentication</a> and looked at Chapter 7 of <a href="http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/pdfs/sg246316.pdf" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this</a> pdf like suggested, but I can't seem to find the right settings (I have no option labeled 'enable global security' like most methods use), and am trying to run my project, while the pdf is extremely project specific.</p>
  
  <p>So to ask my question clearly, what is the easiest way to enable basic authentication on WebSphere 6.1?</p>
