Values

  • REMOTE_USER—specifies that the web server should perform the authentication (anonymous is not accepted). The web server identifies the remote user and makes the user name known to the WRD to pass to the Uniface Server. For more information, see Using Web Server Authentication.

  • Realm—name of the Realm in which the user is allowed to request web pages. BASIC authentication is performed by the web server.

    The first time a user makes a request, the servlet instructs the browser to ask for a user ID and password, which are passed to the Uniface Server. If verifies the combination and if it succeeds, the user can request pages in this realm. For more information, see Using Uniface Authentication.
