AUTHORDER Statement—Specify Authentication Protocols

The AUTHORDER statement specifies a list of protocols to be used by a web server for authentication in an HTTP job.

Supported Job Type

This statement is optional for the HTTP job type.

Syntax

This statement has the following formats:

AUTHORDER BASIC|DIGEST|NTLM

AUTHORDER ({[BASIC]}
           {[,][DIGEST]}
           {[,][NTLM]})

BASIC: Indicates the BASIC protocol.
DIGEST: Indicates the DIGEST protocol.
NTLM: Indicates the NTLM protocol.

Notes:

You can specify any of the following protocols in any order: BASIC, DIGEST, and NTLM. To specify more than one protocol, place the protocols within parentheses, separated by commas or blanks.
If you are connecting to a web server that cannot negotiate authentication protocols, enter the following list in the specified order: (BASIC, DIGEST, NTLM).

Example: Connect to a Web Server that Cannot Negotiate Authentication Protocols

This example performs an HTTP query using the HTTP GET method. The output of the invocation is returned in the job's spool file. In this example, the job specifies the connection domain and origin for NTLM authentication, overrides the global proxy defaults specified in the agentparm.txt file, and specifies the user and BASIC, DIGEST, and NTLM protocols for web server authentication.
