KnowlegeAgentConfiguration should support a username and password property for HTTP authentication when the changset.xml itself is retrieved from HTTP (or shouldn't contain the username/password). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBRULES-3465 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBRULES-3465 Project: JBRULES Issue Type: Feature Request Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: drools-api Affects Versions: 5.4.0.CR1 Reporter: Geoffrey De Smet Currently, you can workaround like this sometimes: {code} KnowledgeAgentConfiguration conf = KnowledgeAgentFactory.newKnowledgeAgentConfiguration(); Authenticator.setDefault(new Authenticator() { // =========================== BAD - Does NOT work when there are multiple agents with different usernames @Override protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() { return new PasswordAuthentication("admin", "admin".toCharArray()); } }); KnowledgeAgent ka = KnowledgeAgentFactory.newKnowledgeAgent("test", conf); {code} we should support this:: {code} KnowledgeAgentConfiguration conf = KnowledgeAgentFactory.newKnowledgeAgentConfiguration(); conf.setUsername("admin"); // Or via setProperty() conf.setPasword("admin".toCharArray()); // Or via setProperty() KnowledgeAgent ka = KnowledgeAgentFactory.newKnowledgeAgent("test", conf); {code}
