Hi.

I have configured the Web product to look for the HTTP Authentication header to log on but so far I have been unsuccessful in my attempts. My application is JavaScript hosted on an Apache server. It authenticates using HTTP Basic Authentication. I see a 401 Unauthorized in the browser console when I attempt to spawn an emulation session from my application. Is there additional documentation or an example you might provide for using this approach to logging into a session?

Thanks,

David,

What version of the product are you configuring? Rocket has a public doc site available at "https://docs.rocketsoftware.com/". You can filter by product name and version from there. Assuming you are using Rocket TE Web Edition, it first tries to extract a user ID from the HTTP header “Authorization” and then authenticates with the user ID list configured through the Admin console. You can check the server log ( /bzwapps/logs) for additional errors/information.
