Configuring Web Service Authentication for CAF Applications
When My webMethods Server is running in a container, basic authentication is enabled and switched on by default for all web service clients in custom applications and layered products, overriding the settings of the individual application. You can disable this setting, for example, when using My webMethods Server containers with Integration Server containers, or modify the default user name and password for basic authentication.
