5.3 Programming Outbound Authentication Plug-Ins
When an Oracle Tuxedo client accesses Web services via
SOAP/HTTP, the client may be required to send a username and
password to the server to perform HTTP Basic Authentication. The
Oracle Tuxedo clients uses tpinit()to send a username
and password when registering to the Oracle Tuxedo domain. However,
this username is used by Oracle Tuxedo and is not the same as the
one used by the Web service (the password may be different as
well).
To map the usernames, SALT provides a plug-in interface (Credential-Mapping Interface), that allows you to choose which username and password is sent to the Web service.
