Hey,
I've been searching for a couple of days now for a way to implement Basic Http Authentication for HttpInput-oriented flows.
Basicly I have a flow that recieves a request from a browser (ie. IE ) and returns a BLOB which is an image.
Now i want the browser to send the name of the user to the WMB so it can be Authorized using an LDAP server (Active Directory).
My searches have led me to setting a SecurityProfile that defines the group the user has to be in and so on..
I'm currently having problems making this work and i keep getting a warning (that acts like an error) that LDAP cannot handle the given Identity (type '', token '', issued by 'HTTP'). I suspect that the flow just doesn't get any identity token from the browser, and when I checked with a sniffer I can see that the browser really doesn't add any username to the headers of the request.
Anyone has any experience with this?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Netanel Gilad.
ps.
As i mentioned in the subject i'm using WMB6.1.0.7.
So the difficulty you're having is in creating an HTTP GET or POST that includes an HTTP-BasicAuth header.
If you want to do this WITH broker, you could create a simple flow that takes an unsecured HTTP input and makes an HTTPRequest after adding an Identity.
I'm not aware of any specific mechanism in any browser to explicitly add a Username/password token to a given URL request. You might look - there are probably plugins or etc. for your browser that could do this.
