Hello everyone,

When implementing HTTP Basic Authentication, following RFC7617, I believe I should have an HTTP structure more or less like this:

<HTTP>
<Session id="1" name="connect" timeout="300000" loginMethod ="credentials" userName="" password="">

How can I make the userName and Password refer to parameters inside the connector? For example, Parameter ID 100 contains the password and Parameter ID 101 contains the Username.

Thank you,

Hi Joao,

You can just enter the parameter IDs in the username and password attribute values (between quotes).

e.g. userName="101" password="100"

Hi João,

I'm no expert on protocol development but according to this example I think you can put the parameter IDs in the userName and password attributes.

So I think that would make it:

<HTTP>
<Session id="1" name="connect" timeout="300000" loginMethod ="credentials" userName="101" password="100">
