A user of Qizx XML Server will be prompted by the
client (e.g. the Web browser) for a username and a password each time
she/he will use the service. An authentication scheme specifies how the
credentials of the user are passed from the client to the server.
Choose "
Digest (recommended for a normal web
server)" if you have selected option "
Web server
(HTTP)" during the
preceding configuration step. The
Digest authentication scheme transmits encrypted passwords to the
server.
Choose "
Basic (recommended for a secure web
server)" if you have selected option "
Secure Web
server (HTTPS)" during the
preceding configuration step. The
Basic authentication scheme transmits clear text passwords to the server.
However in the case of
HTTPS, the communication channel between
the client and its server is itself encrypted.
