Class BasicAuthenticationFilter

java.lang.Object

com.codename1.backend.security.BasicAuthenticationFilter

All Implemented Interfaces:

SecurityFilter

public final class BasicAuthenticationFilter
extends Object
implements SecurityFilter

Authenticates a request from its Authorization: Basic header.

The credentials are checked on every request that carries them and nothing is kept: no session is started. A request without the header passes through untouched, for the rules further on to judge; one whose credentials are refused is answered 401 with a challenge.

On a chain with a second factor, the right password of a user who has one is refused too, with a 401 that says why: see HttpBasicConfigurer.secondFactorExempt.
