<h5><a name="wsseccfabasic"></a>Configure basic authentication for Web services</h5>
<p>With the basic authentcation (BasicAuth) mechanism, the client generates a security token, based on user ID and password, and it imbeds the token in the SOAP message. The server extracts the token and uses a Java Authentication and Authorization Service (JAAS) login module to validate the token. For an overview of the basic authentication mechanism, see <a href="wssecbasic.htm">Basic authentication</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> To use the basic authentication mechanism for Web services, you must configure WebSphere global security. For more information, see <a href="../sec/seccglo.htm">Configure global security</a> in the <em>Security</em> topic.</p>
<p>Perform these steps to configure the basic authentication for your Web service:</p>
