I've written authentication exits in the past, but now have a situation where I need to write one for use in the Thin client.
Looking at the WebClient Doc sample for BasicAuthenticationHandler I come upon the following:
"Set up HTTP/1.1 Basic Authentication in your Web server for the Web client Web application . The setup of the HTTP/1.1 Basic Authentication depends on the Web Server you are using."
This dosen't mean anything to me. My WebServer is WAS 5.0. I know how to do the workflow stuff, but this doesn't mean anything to me.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I suppose you have to set that up in the webserver you are using. You might be using the default IBM Http server provided along with WAS.
If it is IBM HTTP Server, then the URL to administration will be
http://<servername>:8008.
May be you will find how to set it up in there. I have never done this, so have no Idea.

Forgot to mention, I could be completely wrong.

John,
BasicAuthenticationHandler is just a sample on how the HTTP/1.1 Basic Authentication can be used for passing the credentials to the server's authentications exit. The HTTP/1.1 Basic Authentication could be dependend on the Web Server - it's making sense for me.
The idea is that you can write your own command handler having getCredentials method. It's your choice how you implement it to get these credentials (HTTP/1.1 Basic Authentication is an example) but they should be recognized by the authentication exit because the WebClient will invoke logon4 passing the credentials as one of the parameters.
