How to send logged in user and credentials to web service
We are implementing hosting our vfp desktop app in the cloud using remote app.
When our app starts it calls a web service to obtain the data directory and application rights. It sends name of logged in user. How can it send a verifiable credential without forcing user to enter a new password?
TIA,
Alex
You need to tokenize your authentication data somehow, pass it to the service so it can unwrap it. Basically you need to ecnrypt the data in such a way that:
- It's not readable en-route
- That you can encode/decode on both ends
This means both client and server need some sort of common encryption key they share.
