[AXIS2] PROPOSAL : Options#setUsername() and Options#setPassword()
Hi All,
There two widely used cases where the client will have to provide a
username and a password when accessing a service.
- UsernameToken authentication
- HTTP basic auth
Right now with Axis2 these two requires the user to provide the
username in different ways. It will be great if we can have a scenario
where we simply set these two values in the Options object and expect
the modules to use these values in applying the policy expressed by
the service (adding a UT or basic auth).
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Ruchith

The priority should be given to the option object.
I don't think we should ever use the Proxy credentials for the target
service - that would be a security flaw.

To get Http basic auth or proxy auth we use
HttpTransportProperties.Authenticator and
HttpTransportProperties.ProxyProperties classes. If the username and
password is available in Options object, should the precedence be give to
the prior classes or former Option object.

Hey Ruchith,
Can you tell us the easiest way to tell an Axis2 client to use UT,
provided that the username and password are given using the above..
thanks,
Thilina

The current Rampart client model is too complex.

Would be very useful to make simple case very simple.
