HTTP Authentication (Basic and Digest)

Hello folks,

I have 2 questions that I hope someone can answer

1. Is there any plan for supporting HTTP Digest Authentication anytime soon
in Axis2/C?

2. Are these still issues with Basic Authentication in Axis2/C? If yes, will
they be fixed in release 1.2?
-> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2C-716
-> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2C-767



Thanks as usual!

Subra

Yes.

Yes, if the .net client supports Digest Auth :)

One clarification....

When we talk about support for Basic/Digest HTTP Authentication in Axis2/C,
we are talking about only the client side right? There is no problem on the
server side since this is taken care by the apache httpd server, correct?

So if my service is written in axis2/c with Digest Authentication enabled in
apache, and if I use Microsoft .Net client, I should be fine, right?

I don't see anyone working on this regard at the moment. As a
workaround you may try using basic auth with SSL (However, depending
on your requirements this may not be possible).

Yes, these issues are still there. I'm hoping to fix them for the 1.2 release.
