4.4.1.2 HTML Protocol Adaptor

Because the HTML protocol adaptor relies on HTTP messaging, it also implements password protection. The agent application specifies the list of allowed login identifiers and their passwords when creating the HTML adaptor. When password protection is enabled in HTML, the web browser usually displays a dialog box for users to enter their login and passwords.

In general, the security mechanisms of a protocol adaptor depend on the security features of the underlying protocol. The ability to use security mechanisms also depends on the functionality of the management console. If your web browser does not support the password dialog, you cannot access a password-protected HTML adaptor.
