 String password)

Method Details

authorizationHeader

public String authorizationHeader()

Description copied from interface: EssAuthentication

The value for the Authorization header, or null to send none. Null is meaningful rather than a degenerate case - a cookie-borne session needs no Authorization header.

Specified by:

authorizationHeader in interface EssAuthentication

username

public Optional<String> username()

Description copied from interface: EssAuthentication

The user being authenticated as, where this strategy knows it.

Empty for a strategy that only carries a session or a token: those identify a user to the server without the client necessarily knowing who it is. A caller that needs the name regardless has to ask the server - but should prefer this, because asking is a round trip and, on Essbase 26.1, GET /session answers 500.

Specified by:

username in interface EssAuthentication
