Tthis page describes how to configure Basic HTTP authentication for incoming and/or outgoing authentication for an application link.

Basic HTTP authentication allows Crucible to provide a specific set of 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 Crucible administrator on your Crucible server to a remote application, the remote application will be able to access all functions on your Crucible server that the Crucible administrator can access.

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

On this page:

  • The instructions assume that both of the applications that you are linking have the Application Links plugin installed. If the remote application that you are linking to supports Basic HTTP authentication, but does not have the Application Links plugin installed, you will need to configure Basic HTTP authentication from within the remote application. See the relevant administrator's documentation for the application. This is in addition to configuring the outgoing/incoming authentication for the application link described below.
  • You must be a Crucible administrator to configure Basic HTTP authentication for an application link.

Configuring outgoing basic http authentication will allow Crucible to trust a remote application. This allows the remote application to access specified functions in Crucible.

To configure basic http authentication for an outgoing application link:

  1. Log in as a system administrator and go to the administration page. Click Application Links in the administration menu. You'll see a list of the application links that have already been set up.
  2. Click Edit for the application link that you want to configure authentication for.
  3. Click the Outgoing Authentication tab and then the Basic Access tab.
  4. Enter the credentials (username and password) that the remote application will use to log into your local application.
  5. Click Enable to save your changes.

Configuring incoming basic http authentication will allow the remote application that you are linking to, to trust Crucible. Crucible will be able to access specified functions on the remote application.

To configure basic http authentication for an incoming application link:

  1. Log in as a system administrator and go to the administration page. Click Application Links in the administration menu. You'll see a list of the application links that have already been set up.
  2. Click Edit next to the application link that you want to configure authentication for.
  3. Click the Incoming Authentication tab, then the Basic Access tab.
  4. Click Configure and enter the credentials (username and password) that the your application will use to log in to the remote application.
