Configure XML basic authentication for v5.x web services with an assembly tool
With the basic authentication (BasicAuth) authentication method, the request sender generates a BasicAuth security token using a callback handler. The request receiver retrieves the BasicAuth security token from the SOAP message and validates it using a Java™ Authentication and Authorization Service (JAAS) login module. Trust is established by using user name and password validation.

BasicAuth information can be collected in many ways, including through an admin console prompt, a standard in (Stdin) prompt, or specified in the bindings that prevents user interaction.
- Configure the client for basic authentication: collecting the authentication information
The basic authentication (BasicAuth) method refers to the user ID and the password of a valid user in the registry of the target server. Collection of BasicAuth information can occur in many ways including through a user interface prompt, a standard in (Stdin) prompt, or specified in the bindings, which prevents user interaction.
- Configure the server to handle basic authentication information
Basic authentication (BasicAuth) refers to the user ID and the password of a valid user in the registry of the target server. After a request is received that contains basic authentication information, the server needs to log in to form a credential. The credential is used for authorization.
- Configure the server to validate basic authentication information
Basic authentication (BasicAuth) refers to the user ID and the password of a valid user in the registry of the target server. We can specify how the server validates the BasicAuth information.
