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