HTTP basic authentication collection

 

Use this page to specify a user name and password for transport-level basic authentication security for this port. You can use this configuration when a Web service is a client to another Web service.

You can use transport-level security to enable basic authentication. Transport-level security can be enabled or disabled independently from message-level security. Because transport-level security provides minimal security, use message-level security when security is essential to the Web service application. To view this administrative console page, complete the following steps:

  1. Click Applications > Enterprise Applications > application_instance.

  2. Click Manage modules > URI_file_name > Web Services: Client Security Bindings.

  3. Under HTTP basic authentication, click Edit.
