# Transport–Level Security

## HTTP Basic Authentication

In the event it is not convenient to use WS-Security, it is possible to configure OpenText PPM to accept user credentials passed using HTTP basic authentication headers.

To enable HTTP basic authentication:

1. Open the `axis2.xml` file for edit.

2. Locate the InflowBasicAuth section.

3. Change the value of Enforced to true.

4. Save and close the `axis2.xml` file.

When HTTP basic authentication is enabled on the PPM Server, the credential carried in HTTP authentication header is authenticated against OpenText PPM users’ credentials.

Tip: When this mode is enabled, avoid duplication authentication by making sure that you have disabled message–level security, as described in Message–Level Security (WS-Security Specification).

## HTTPS

To enable HTTPS, refer to the external Web server for details. To make a secure HTTPS connection from a Web service client, see the Web Services Programmer's Guide.
