Hello:

 BasicAuthSecurityHandler requires to set username and password as Strings. Is 
there any way I can reuse the  already encoded credentials in http header in a 
wink Handler for authentication. The use case is as follows:

Let's say we have two applications on two different servers [one web 
application and one Rest application] both of which authenticate users against 
the same [LDAP] repository

1- User logs into a Web application using basic authentication
2- The web application would dispatch calls a wink application [which needs 
authentication]. I would like to re-use encoded user credentials in Http header 
that comes under property "Authorization" as my authentication token when I 
dispatch calls to wink rest service

Is there a way this can be done ?
