Two-way HTTP and One-way HTTPS Basic Authentication

Set up your HTTP client to use the basic authentication type.

  1. The remote client provides username and password credentials (or "Authorization" header) when accessing SAP Mobile Platform.
  2. SAP Mobile Platform determines the security configuration for the request.
  3. The credentials is passed to the security configuration (authentication providers are defined) to perform authentication.
  4. If authentication succeeds, SAP Mobile Platform dispatches the client request to corresponding service handler. Otherwise, 401 challenge will be returned to the remote client.
  5. For proxy service, server will forward client request to backend or gateway server with including the credentials provided by client.
