Network Stack‎ : HTTP authentication

HTTP authentication

As specified in RFC 2617, HTTP supports authentication using the WWW-Authenticate request headers and the Authorization response headers (and the Proxy-Authenticate and Proxy-Authorization headers for proxy authentication).   Supported authentication schemes   Choosing an authentication scheme   Basic: 1 Digest: 2 NTLM: 3 Negotiate: 4   Integrated Authentication     Kerberos SPN generation     Kerberos Credentials Delegation (Forwardable Tickets)     Negotiate external libraries OSX: libgssapi_krb5.dylib Linux: libgssapi_krb5.so.2, libgssapi.so.4, libgssapi.so.2, libgssapi.so.1   Remaining work Support NTLMv2 on Mac and Linux. Our portable NTLM code supports NTLMv1 only. Support GSSAPI on Windows [for MIT Kerberos for Windows or Heimdal] Warn about Basic authentication scheme over unencrypted channels. Questions?
