• HTTP Basic Authentication with passwords is a straightforward means to identify client and server in HTTP connections. However, HTTP connections are not secure and forwarding passwords without transport encryption means the passwords are visible in the network. It is therefore recommended that users switch to HTTPS Server Authentication which implements transport encryption.
• Note the communication scheme between JS7 components products as described in the JS7 - System Architecture article:

  • JOC Cockpit acting as an http client establishes connections to Controller instances acting as http HTTP servers.
  • Controller instances acting as http clients establish connections to Agents acting as http HTTP servers.
