30 Using the Open Provisioning Interface
Authentication
The Provisioning Server authenticates each request to ensure that the
request is received from a valid client application. The client application
needs to provide a user identity (user name) and authentication
information (password) in the HTTP/SOAP request.
The supported authentication mechanisms are HTTP Basic Authentication
– Onboard Authentication and WS-Security UsernameToken.
