BasicLocalConnectionContext

What is it?

In order to pass basic authentication information in the header to an application that you have set up as a webProxy in uPortal.

How to use BasicLocalConnectionContext:

1) Add the attached org.jasig.portal.security.provider.BasicLocalConnectionContext to the source area and redeploy. Note: this code will be included with uPortal 2.5 and you won't need to download it here.

2) Restart tomcat

3) Define a web proxy channel

4) Define org.jasig.portal.security.provider.BasicLocalConnectionContext as the LocalConnectionContext implementation for that channel

You should now have a WebProxy channel using the LCC to send authentication credentials to a remote server.
