Re: Web Services Authentication

If the request is basic authentication you pass it in the headers. Basic
Authentication looks like a little popup where you enter a userid and
password (exactly like signing into the web admin on the i).

If it's a signon web page you'll be returned a token in the headers (a
cookie) with a value you'll need to pass in your headers on each subsequent
call so it thinks you're still logged in.

You can't mix and match each method.

We are having trouble finding how to pass the auth info in the header.
What does it need to look like?

I'd recommend sending the user/password information in the HTTP headers.
The web service authentication can read the headers without requiring the
login screen.

Thanks,
Todd

Subject: [WEB400] Web Services Authentication

This is our first attempt to open certain web services for select
customers.
Is it possible for the i-Series Integrated Web Server to authenticate a
REST request prior to sending the request to a program? In testing, we
have been unable to keep the server from returning a login screen. Is it
possible for a web service consumer to send a REST request that includes
both the Userid/Password info as well as the data request? If so, what
setting do we need to add to the server and how should the request be
formatted?



Thanks,

Alvin
