Authentication

The Provisioning Server authenticates each request to ensure that the request is received from a valid client application. The client application needs to provide a user identity (user name) and authentication information (password) in the HTTP/SOAP request.

The supported authentication mechanisms are HTTP Basic Authentication

– Onboard Authentication and WS-Security UsernameToken.
