Issue
- I want to disable Basic Auth for JSONWS (JSON web services) in Liferay so that only OAuth is used for a specific jsonws method (i.e. expandovalue)
Resolution
-
Basic Auth can be entirely disabled, or /api/* removed from the URLs Includes list, by navigating to Control Panel > System Settings > API Authentication > Basic Auth Header and editing the /api/*,/xmlrpc* Configuration Entry.
-
To disable Basic Auth only for certain expandovalue methods, add /api/jsonws/expandovalue/* to "URL Excludes".
