<URL:http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/09/access-control#Access-Control-and-Basic-Authentication> The android side would be a GET with the (Base64 encoded) credentials. Base64 isn't encryption, but if you're using HTTPS the transport provides the encryption. You can also do other forms of login (two factor, CAS, etc) as one step , issue a JWT, and then use the JWT in the [REST] API calls. See the JWT intro in gluon/tools.py. /dps > On Tuesday, April 18, 2017 at 12:31:38 AM UTC+2, Dave S wrote: >> >> >> >> On Monday, April 17, 2017 at 1:20:20 PM UTC-7, Oasis Agano wrote: >>> >>> No extra modifications inside the web2py controller?
