Hello Artur,
I thought on the server side you just do what you do any other servlet
that you want to use Basic Authentication with.
Look at your servlet container's docs and the tags in web.xml
(login-config?, security-role?, security-constraint?)
Hope that points you in the right direction.
Regards,
Dies

Hello Dies,
thanks for your answer, but I need to enable HTTP Basic Authentication
on the server side. Axis should restrict user access according to the
user.lst file. Along with SSL encryption the security level is hopefully
sufficient.
Maybe you can help me with it, too?
kind regards
Artur

Hello Artur,
On the client side you do: (from JAX-RPC1.1 spec)
StockQuoteProvider_Stub sqp = // ... get to the stub;
sqp._setProperty(Stub.USERNAME_PROPERTY, "<username>");
sqp._setProperty(Stub.PASSWORD_PROPERTY, "<password>");
float quote = sqp.getLastTradePrice("ACME");

Hello,
searching the whole day for a guide/doc how to enable HTTP Basic
authentication, I stumbled over the axis security doc
(http://ws.apache.org/axis/java/security.html) with the following
notice:
"Clients can authenticate themselves with client certificates, or
HTTP basic authentication. The latter is too weak to be trustable on
a non-encrypted channel, but works over HTTPS. The MessageContext
class will be configured with the username and password of the sender
when SOAP messages are posted to the endpoint;"
But I can't find any document how to enable the basic authentication.
Can please someone point me to the altered configuration I have to
provide to get it working?
Thanks a lot!
Kind regards
Artur Kraft
