I am trying to configure security for hawtio running in Jetty.
I followed the instructions here but when I try authenticate I get the error in the logs
WARN | qtp28021517-18 | Login failed due null
Not a lot to go on.
The logs don't indicate anything obvious either. The only thing I can think of is to enable debug logging which I did on the jetty container but it made no difference to the hawtio output.

We started to embed Hawtio in our application but found that it was a bit sensitive to build and had library issues. As a result it was easier to use the Jolokia agent on the command line of the application we wanted to monitor and use the Hawtio war file in a separate tomcat container. You can then use standard Tomcat security
