HTTP basic authentication collection

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

We 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.
