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

Hi,

Can i please have an update on whether username or password is supported at all in KnowledgeAgentConfiguration? In my project it is discouraged to check-in any username or password on subversion, so we are passing it from the command line. Thing is, I am getting HTTP 401 when I move out the code to set username/password from change-set.xml onto the KnowledgeAgentConfiguration this way: 

		KnowledgeAgentConfiguration conf = KnowledgeAgentFactory.newKnowledgeAgentConfiguration();
		conf.setProperty ("enableBasicAuthentication", "true");
		conf.setProperty ("username", username);
		conf.setProperty ("password", password);

		KnowledgeAgent kagent = KnowledgeAgentFactory.newKnowledgeAgent("kagent", conf);
		kagent.applyChangeSet(ResourceFactory.newClassPathResource("rules/change-set.xml"));
		StatelessKnowledgeSession ksession =  kagent.newStatelessKnowledgeSession();

Please advise how I can set the username/password to connect to Guvnor programmatically. Thank you.
