I don't see anything related to authentication there... you have to know
what parameters you need, and adjust the filters accordingly. Still, since
there is nothing in your list from the filter as far as I can tell, it
seems it is not in your filter chain.

probably here you will see that some filters were chosen and some that you
expected (and need) were not. That would probably mean working out the
correct chain of mime types (and maybe weights) so that one filter calls
the correct next one.
