  +--oracle.calendar.soap.client.authentication.BasicAuth

public class BasicAuth

extends java.lang.Object

The BasicAuth class is used in the SOAP header to provide basic authentication services. The username and password are passed plaintext within a SOAP request. This mechanism is not secure and should be used for development and testing purposes. If BasicAuth is to be used in a production environment, the SSL protocol should be used to secure the HTTP connection between the SOAP client and Calendaring Web Services host.
