Basic Authentication

On iOS, Android, and BlackBerry platforms, each Hybrid Web Container has a default basic authentication screen to enter credentials if challenged for basic authentication when Hybrid Web Container connects with the server.

The entered credentials are persisted, so any time the application restarts, the previously accepted credentials are used.

If the basic authentication screen is canceled, it is shown again only under these circumstances:

New connection information is entered and saved on the settings screen
The restart engine menu item is pressed on the settings screen
The application is restarted (device restart or force stop)
