floyd floyd created WFLY-1408: --------------------------------- Summary: Basic Authentication does not mention SSL Key: WFLY-1408 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-1408 Project: WildFly Issue Type: Bug Components: Documentation Reporter: floyd floyd Assignee: Tom Wells In the following documentation Basic Authentication is suggested. I have two comments: - The documentation should clearly state that SSL (so HTTPS) should be used when using Basic Authentication or Digest Authentication. Usernames and Passwords will be sent in Cleartext in every single HTTP request to the server if SSL is not used. Which is clearly a big security issue. - The documentation should suggest Digest authentication rather than Basic authentication. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
