HTTP Authentication Schemes

Oxygen XML Author plugin supports the following HTTP authentication schemes:

• Basic - The basic authentication scheme defined in the RFC2617 specifications.
• Digest - The digest authentication scheme defined in the RFC2617 specifications.
• NTLM - The NTLM scheme is a proprietary Microsoft Windows Authentication protocol (considered to be the most secure among currently supported authentication schemes).

  Note

  For NTLM authentication, the user name must be preceded by the name of the domain it belongs to, as in the following example:

  domain\username

• Kerberos - An authentication protocol that works on the basis of tickets to allow nodes communicating over a non-secure network to prove their identity to one another in a secure manner.
