Thanks for the quick response Mark. I think we have what your discussing on
the perl side (see example below). If the resource is a java resource, what
should be supplied for the SetHandler or can that be left blank?
<Location /resource>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlResponseHandler Proofpoint::Apiservice::REST
Options +ExecCGI
PerlSendHeader On
Satisfy all
allow from all
Options None
AuthName "service name"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /xyz/file.users
require valid-user
</Location>
