The serviceLib.setProxyBasicAuthentication() system function gives the user access to the EGL Rich UI Proxy when that access is protected by JEE basic authentication. The function lets you provide a user ID and password, which are automatically encrypted for inclusion in an HTTP header. For background information, see EGL Rich UI security,
userid TextField { width = 100 };
password PasswordTextField { width = 100 };
// the following statement runs in response to a button click
setProxyBasicAuthentication( userid.text, password.text );
You use serviceLib.setProxyBasicAuthentication() as part of application-managed security. You can use the function to implement EGL single signon, as described in EGL Rich UI security.
serviceLib.setProxyBasicAuthentication(userID STRING in,
password STRING in)
You specify the two values without encryption.
