[jira] [Commented] (FELIX-651) Access to password protected OBR
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-651?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13238764#comment-13238764 ]
Miroslav Šulc commented on FELIX-651:
-------------------------------------
are there any plans to add support for password protected obr? i'd like to be able to plug private obr repository to web console bundle repository, install some packages and then remove the obr, this all done in public network.

> For a project I would like to configure a 'private' OBR (somewhat against the federated idea of OBR I guess, but anyway). In other words: username/password protected access. Https OBR are possible, but I have no idea if there is an 'official' way (from Felix' point of view) for specifying credentials for the specified OBR URLs.
> Just to see whether it would work I created a test version where username/password can be specified in a RFC1738 compliant way, e.g. https://user:password@server:port/rest and added an Authenticator to the bundlerepository bundle, which gets the username/password from the URL if it is set (see http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/net/URL.html#getUserInfo()).
> This seems to work OK; would this be interesting for others as well?
