HTTP
The HTTP authentication source relies on the GET method to retrieve information. The client submits a request,
and then the server returns a response. All request parameters are included in the URL. For example, URL:
https//hostname/webservice/…/%{Auth:Username}?param1=%{…}¶m2=value2. HTTP relies on
the assumption that the connection between the client and server is secure and can be trusted.
Configure primary and backup servers, session details, filter query, and role mapping attributes to fetch HTTP
authentication sources using the following tabs:
l General Tab on page 228
l Primary Tab on page 229
l Attributes Tab on page 230
l Summary Tab on page 232
