Basic Authentication
Basic Authentication is a standard HTTP authentication method that requires users to enter a username and password through the web browser before accessing shared files and folders. It is used to restrict access to authorized users. When a user opens a share link, the browser prompts for credentials and sends them with each request to authenticate access.
This document explains how to create a Basic Authentication Login Profile and configure secure access to shared content.
