Hello folks,
XWiki REST authentication can be BASIC authentication or XWiki browser
sessions. Found XWIKI-3268 (http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-3268)
which stated the same. However is there a possibility to add
username/password used by the XWiki users into the HTTPClient
authentication
methods.
At present, BASIC authentication would mean creating a username/password
again for the users. And relying on cookies mechanism requires that the
XWiki user should be logged into XWiki through a browser before s/he can
make REST requests. Either ways, an http client won't be able to
authenticate users without making them put an extra effort to login
manually
somewhere.
As far as I know, your BASIC authentication username / password are the same
as your standard XWiki Username / Password.
That is, if an user has a XWiki account, he can login through basic
authentication using that same account. Thus you don't need to create a new
account / password for your users.

Please let me know your views on this one & If
there is a work around to
this.
Thank you guys.
