None of the policy alternatives can be satisfied

Question

I have a problem with setting up basic authentication to my OSGi bundle. Bundle is deployed in Apache Karaf. Here I have policy statement in my WSDL:

<service name="MyService">
    <port name="MyPortTypeBindingPort"
          binding="MyPortTypeBinding">
        <soap:address location="http://localhost:8009/MyEndpoint"/>  
            <wsp:PolicyReference URI="#HttpBasicAuthBindingBindingRealmPolicy"/>
    </port>
</service>

<wsp:Policy wsu:Id="HttpBasicAuthBindingBindingRealmPolicy">
    <mysp:MustSupportBasicAuthentication on="true">
        <mysp:BasicAuthenticationDetail>
            <mysp:Realm realmName="MyRealm"/>
        </mysp:BasicAuthenticationDetail>
    </mysp:MustSupportBasicAuthentication>
</wsp:Policy>

The problem is when I am trying to access the service from browser, the following error is that I get in the log files:

org.apache.cxf.interceptor.Fault: None of the policy alternatives can be satisfied.

I have been searching the internet and I am not able to find the solution. Maybe someone know what might be wrong?

I am using:

Apache Karaf 2.2.8
CXF 2.6.1
JDK 1.6

Answer 1

Did you register policy handlers and such to handle the mysp:MustSupportBasicAuthentication policy? That's a non-standard policy assertion and not marked optional Thus, CXF doesn't know what to do with it.

I'm assuming that's a glassfish policy? Not really sure.
