I know it is possible to do HTTP header authentication using the WAS Java server but is it possible to achieve the same functionality (logon based on a HTTP header request) using the ABAP server only?

Regards,

Alon

Hi,

ABAP stack can use HTTP basic authentication (username and password is encoded as a a base64 string in HTTP header) in case that HTTP protocol is used as a transport protocol. Basically, all services published in SICF are accessed via HTTP protocol.

Cheers
