Re: Web service HTTP Basic Authentication - where to start from?

I know very little about basic authentication: I know REST API must be
called with login information set in the headers, but I can't figure out
how to configure the web service HTTP instance to accept it and, most of
all, how these information will be checked against user profile security on
IBM i.

Basic-Auth is done by the Web Server Process(es) itself, while some AUTH in some API is handled by the API. Which of these two do you want to have?

I would like to know a bit more on the subject before paying for a course.

Regarding REST and http, there's plenty of information out there in the network. I'd start with Wikipedia (preferred: English, the computing-centric articles are often of vrey good quality) and follow Links in there to learn more.
