-----------------------------------------

             Summary: 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: Drools
          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}
