Yes, Spring Security can support basic auth along with auth. To allow basic authentication for specific URLs or patterns, you can add the following configuration:
grails.plugins.springsecurity.useBasicAuth = true grails.plugins.springsecurity.basic.realmName = "My App Name" grails.plugins.springsecurity.filterChain.chainMap = [ '/someController/someAction': 'JOINED_FILTERS,-exceptionTranslationFilter', '/**': 'JOINED_FILTERS,-basicAuthenticationFilter,-basicExceptionTranslationFilter' ]
