          Description

          Currently, it's impossible to require either form authentication or basic authentication. I need to support both since we want the former for the users using a browser and the later for REST. At a config level, I don't really care which one is used, I just want to know they're authenticated.

            Here's how I would go about doing this. Essentially, we're adding the ability, on both filters, to not require a user to login.

            I am committing a fix that allows:
            authc[permissive] and authcBasic[permissive].

            This will allow us to, on a filterchain level, not require login but use these filters simply to allow login. In addition, this will catch an "UnauthenticatedException" and perform the appropriate login request action (redirect to page or send challenge response).

            Recategorizing as an improvement as this does not represent broken functionality.

            The solution to this is described in the documentation at: http://shiro.apache.org/session-management.html#SessionManagement-AHybridApproach
            That works for me so I suppose this issue is fixed.
