Hello, When Larry did the auth for the tav mobile app he used basic auth using the code you can find here https://github.com/apache/incubator-taverna-mobile/blob/4daa91d3f42b5a4474303fd39c7a7ec1483cebff/app/src/main/java/org/apache/taverna/mobile/fragments/workflowdetails/WorkflowdetailFragment.java#L686
The hardest part was figuring out how to base 64 encode the params because Rails and Java seemed to do it diferently - see the end of https://github.com/apache/incubator-taverna-mobile/blob/4daa91d3f42b5a4474303fd39c7a7ec1483cebff/app/src/main/java/org/apache/taverna/mobile/fragments/workflowdetails/WorkflowdetailFragment.java#L688 @Stian Android removed http client a while ago and recommended using HttpURLConnection instead https://developer.android.com/reference/java/net/HttpURLConnection.html I wouldn't mess around with form submission since you can use a more API based login in the portal.
