Documentation

Definition

The authentification type is required for the automated logon to a content provider. The authentification type determines how the logon data is transferred to the content providers concerned. With online services both authentification methods are used "CGI authentification" (frequently) and "HTTP authentification" (infrequently).

The following examples for the transfer of logon data using the URL address make both methods clearer:

• CGI authentification:
  
  http://www.company.com/<document_path>&p_username=<username>&p_password=<password>/...
• HTTP authentification:
  
  http://<username>:<password>@www.company.com/<document_path>
