ALF 2.1 - Bad credentials when using the AuthorityService

Hi all,I have extended the JavaScript API in order to add a functionality that I miss on the People API to check if a user belongs to a specific group.However, whenever I try to call any method on the AuthorityService (injected by Spring), I receive the following exception:Caused by: net.sf.acegisec

I am also facing the same issue with the following code


      Set<String> authorities = m_AuthorityService.getContainingAuthorities(AuthorityType.GROUP, "admin", false);

‍‍‍‍

I get a "Bad Credentials" exception when this is called from a JSF Managed bean. However, same piece of code works fine when called from a custom action.

You might check the following file public-services-security-context.xml. Try to find the bean AuthorityService_security and you will see that for getAuthoritiesForUser method permission is set as ACL_METHOD.ROLE_ADMINISTRATOR. Change this to ACL_ALLOW and you should be able to execute the method without been logged in with admin role

Kind regards
