The AuthProxy plugin provides the ability to make HTTPS requests with mutual authentication.
The regular XMLHttpRequest does not support mutual authentication. The AuthProxy plugin allows you to specify a certificate to include in an HTTPS request to identify the client to the server. This allows the server to verify the identity of the client. An example of where you might need mutual authenticaion is the onboarding process to register with an application, or, to access an OData producer. This occurs mostly in Business to Business (B2B) applications. This is different from most business to consumer (B2C) web sites where it is only the server that authenticates itself to the client with a certificate.
Adding and Removing the AuthProxy Plugin
The AuthProxy plugin is added and removed using the Cordova CLI.
To add the AuthProxy plugin to your project, use the following command:
cordova plugin add <path to directory containing Kapsel plugins>\authproxy
To remove the AuthProxy plugin from your project, use the following command:
cordova plugin rm com.sap.mp.cordova.plugins.authproxy
