RE: [flexcoders] JBoss Basic Authentication and Web Services

[Peter Farland]

Note setCredentials() is only for when you're contacting LCDS
destinations.

If you want to avoid the Basic Auth dialog, can you try form based
authentication, say using HTTPService?

Subject: [flexcoders] JBoss Basic Authentication and Web Services

My backend developer wants to secure with Basic Authentication the web
services he is going to produce.  Will this work properly with Flex?

I've seen .setCredentials(), but I've seen posts saying that this
doesn't work (http://taylorbarstow.com/tags/air/) and also that when you
*do* manage to subvert Flex to work with Basic Authentication, if the
authentication fails the browser takes over, offering its own popup
login - yuk!

Has anyone had experience in doing this or can point me at tutorials I
seem to have missed?

Cheers,

David.
