The instructions on this page describe how to configure Basic HTTP authentication for outgoing authentication and/or incoming authentication for an application link.

Basic HTTP authentication allows your application to provide user credentials to a remote application and vice versa. Once authenticated, one application can access specified functions on the other application on behalf of that user. For example, if you supply the credentials of a JIRA administrator on your JIRA server to a remote application, the remote application will be able to access all functions on your JIRA server that the JIRA administrator can access.

This method of authentication relies on the connection between your application and the remote application being secure. We recommend that you use Trusted Apps authentication or OAuth authentication for your application link instead, if possible.
