Basic authentication not working for portal application

Question

HI All,
i have a portal application where I have a servlet. i want to use basic authentication for this servlet.
to archive this i have followed http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14571_01/web.1111/b31974/adding_security.htm
and configured basic authentication, also add web-resource in web.xml for the url to access the servlet.
my web.xml look like (copied is only security section from web.xml)
<security-constraint>
    <web-resource-collection>
      <web-resource-name>adfAuthentication</web-resource-name>
      <url-pattern>/adfAuthentication</url-pattern>
    </web-resource-collection>
    <web-resource-collection>
      <web-resource-name>All</web-resource-name>
      <url-pattern>/faces/Auto-connect</url-pattern>
    </web-resource-collection>
    <auth-constraint>
      <role-name>valid-users</role-name>
    </auth-constraint>
  </security-constraint>
  <login-config>
    <auth-method>BASIC</auth-method>
  </login-config>
  <security-role>
    <role-name>valid-users</role-name>
  </security-role>
this works when in run the application in JDeveloper i.e. when i try to access http://localhost:7101/MyApp/faces/Auto-connect it ask for basic authentication (the popup) and when i access http://localhost:7101/MyApp/ it takes me to home page for login , but doesn't work when i deploy the application in weblogic 11g.(deployment done using Enterprise Manager console (EM console) (for both URL no popup).
i tried Google around it but didn't get any solution please provide your input and guide me.
thanks

Hi,
Before deploying, have you changed:
Application properties -> Deployment
Remove the selection from "Auto Generate and Syncronize weblogic-jdc.xml ....."
Kind Regards
