Did you review web.xml and in particular the
<security-constraint>, <login-config>, and <security-role>
elements?

You probably want to just remove them.

Note that in the web.xml deployed by default for WS there
is a <security-constraint> element that is already commented
out as part of an optional ESB listener servlet. Be careful if
you delete it because the closing element
</security-constraint> is on a line that contains the "close
comment" XML syntax "-->".
