Authenticator and PeerAuthenticator Not working Appengine endpoints

Question

After upgrading to V2 Endpoints my API's that used @peerAuthenticator failed to validate the peer. I did the tests with the @Authenticator and had the same problem, ignored the execution.

I've created a repository on GitHub to test with an empty application.

The repository was created through the steps of google documentation .

• After running the app mvn appengine:run you can request to 3 endpoints:

  • http://localhost:8080/_ah/api/myapi/v1/firstApiMethod (without any auth)
  • http://localhost:8080/_ah/api/myapi/v1/b (with @authenticator )
  • http://localhost:8080/_ah/api/myapi/v1/c (with @peerAuthenticator )

• API

   @Api(name = "myapi", version = "v1") public class YourFirstAPI { @ApiMethod(name = "firstApiMethod", path = "firstApiMethod", httpMethod = HttpMethod.GET) public TestObject a() { return new TestObject(); } @ApiMethod(name = "b", path = "b", httpMethod = HttpMethod.GET, authenticators = {Authenticator.class}) public TestObject b() { return new TestObject(); } @ApiMethod(name = "c", path = "c", httpMethod = HttpMethod.GET, peerAuthenticators = PeerAuthenticator.class) public TestObject c() { return new TestObject(); } } 

• Authenticator

   public class Authenticator implements com.google.api.server.spi.config.Authenticator { @Override public User authenticate(HttpServletRequest arg0) throws ServiceException { throw new ServiceException(401, "unauthorized"); } } 

• PeerAuthenticator

   public class PeerAuthenticator implements com.google.api.server.spi.config.PeerAuthenticator{ @Override public boolean authenticate(HttpServletRequest arg0) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub return true; } } 

Has anyone had the same problem? Any Solution for this?

You did not set your authenticator or peer authenticator in your @Api or @ApiMethod annotation. See the Javadoc .
