How do I pass a username and password to a webscript with out going to the login page.

Assume I have the following web script description

<webscript>
  <shortname>Link Control</shortname>
  <description>Get resource url property</description>
  <url>/linkControl/{path}</url>
  <format default="html">argument</format>
  <authentication>stagingusr</authentication>
  <transaction>required</transaction>
</webscript>


So according to this, stagingusr is required for this webscript to work. Am I correct?

Everytime I run this script, the login page appears. Is there any way I can add the stagingusr username and passoword in the scripturl so that the login page does not appear?

thanks.

Hi,

Valid authentication types are:

none
guest
user
admin

If you access your script via the /service servlet rather than /wcservice you can use HTTP Basic authentication instead of going via the login page.

For more info on the authentication types: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Web_Scripts#Description_Document

Thanks,
