Cant Log in to Adobe Connect server using HTTP header authentication - Single Sign On

Hi,

I want to log in some users just with their login names (SSO). So I think http header authentication is the way to go.

I did everything what the doc says (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/connect/8.0/webservices/connect_8_webservices.pdf)

I added a line to custom.ini for HTTP_AUTH_HEADER (HTTP_AUTH_HEADER=white50)

My web.xml fil contains filter settings below.

I am requesting "https://example.com/api/xml?action=login&external-auth=use" with http header (white50=adobe_connect_loginname).

But I always get no-access error response from AC server. I could not authenticate user with its login name without password.

Could you help please.

web.xml:
