Authentication

Introduction

Most requests against the WebTSM Services require that the client/user be authenticated.

There are two methods available for authentication:

• Basic authentication 
• Token authentication

Chosing a Method For Authentication 

The type of authentication to be used depends on the environment and the configuration of the service.

When in doubt, consult the operator of the WebTSM Service instance to find out which method is configured and preferred. Then refer to the following links for details:
