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

HTTP BASIC and FORM are better than DIGEST for these types of environments, because all communications are over SSL. When all communications are over SSL, the tradeoffs involved in HTTP DIGEST no longer make sense.

> Many clients have security requirements that disallow HTTP Basic authentication. HTTP Digest is also disallowed due to the requirement to store plaintext passwords on the server. HTTP Form based authentication would provide a much smoother experience for users and comply with client requirements.
