[SantoshSharma]

Thanks, please advise how we can pass basic authentication header and open a browser using java script (window.open)

[pajeetsingh]

Is this safe? Do commerical corporation use Apache auth basic provider module or they use some pre-webserver(before landing on webserver) or post-webserver(redirect by Apache web-server) to do authentication and Authorization?

[sahinislam]

HOw to create this local.example file???

[luckbeforeleap]

Nice explanation. Does Basic Authentication operate on a per-webpage basis only ? Do I need a separate mechanism to allow authenticated "sessions" so that the user will beauthenticated for any page they browse ? Thanks

[kassuelo]

When is recommended to use the basic auth? Give me examples

[diptikulkarni]

didn't understood as u its created in browser and not in any web page...means where?

[littlered]

Dunno if anyone else had this problem, but --user worked for me even though auth didn't.

[destinyjames]

What happens if i have multiple ":" in the username and password

[xxmsaxx]

The problem with basic AUTH nowadays, it that even if its inside https your ISEC team or the ISEC team of your API integrations partner will often demand more. One could produce exception documentation to prove its acceptable in accordance to sensitivity of material being transmitted if thats the case, but at this point its best to create an oauth solution rather than burning time on justification docs every time your application needs to make a new API integration.

With the basic auth being depreciated;
One of our vendors have reached out requesting that we need to make the changes in our Azure environment, to grant them office 365 exchange online api app permission. This external vendor app only applies to one of our custom domain.

My concern is I do not want to give access to all other custom domains in my organization to this external vendor app. And if I do grant the external vendor app access to the org wide, how much of our org environment will be exposed to the vendor, what kind of access will they have etc.

Is it possible to enable and grant my office 365 exchange online api permissions to an external vendor app specifically to one of my custom domains?... Just wondering also, if this can be done by specifying a security dynamic azure group and add members?

Any suggestions and how would very much appreciated.

Many thanks
