AJAX proxy authentication

The AJAX proxy is integrated with the Credential Vault of the portal. The Credential Vault stores user credentials, such as user IDs and passwords. The integration allows portlets to log in to applications outside of portal.

By using the Credential Vault, the proxy can retrieve the credentials of a user and then pass this information to a target host for authentication. The authentication method is basic authentication. The proxy generates a HTTP Authorization request header to transport the user credentials to the target server.

To enable the proxy to retrieve the correct user credentials from the Credential Vault, append the following two parameters to proxy URLs as query parameters:
hpaa.slotid


hpaa.piid
