Re: Http authentication using BasicSecurityFilter

I haven't had the time to research this deeply so I am answering with
the best of my memory.
I am not sure what you are refering with http credentials. If they are
the userid and password used to connection through SOAP, they have to
match a user id in xplanner database. How do you suggest the mapping
be done if it wasn't like that?
Something tells me I did not understand your question ;-)
