Authentication

VB6-Web comes with a few authenticators out-of-the-box and you can create your own

Set up an existing authenticator

(Make sure the desired authenticator class is included in the project)

DimClientAsNewWebClient' Create a new IAuthenticator implementationDimAuthAsNew...Authenticator' Setup authenticator...' Attach the authenticator to the clientSetClient.Authenticator=Auth

HTTP Basic Authenticator

This is the standard Username + Password flow.

Note: The Username and Password are encoded, but not encrypted so https must be used when accessing services for the transmission to be secure

DimAuthAsNewHttpBasicAuthenticatorAuth.Setup_Username:="Your username",_Password:="Your password"

OAuth 1.0

This is the standard OAuth 1.0 flow, using a Consumer key and secret, and Token key and secret to authorize requests.

DimAuthAsnewOAuth1AuthenticatorAuth.Setup_ConsumerKey:="Your consumer key",_ConsumerSecret:="Your consumer secret",_Token:="Your token",_TokenSecret:="Your token secret",_Realm:="Optional realm"

OAuth 2.0 - Client-credentials flow

Currently VB6-Web supports only the client-credentials flow of OAuth 2.0.

Notes:

• This authenticator was developed specifically for Salesforce implementation, so it may not be compatible with other APIs that implement OAuth 2.0.
• The Username and Password are encoded, but not encrypted so https must be used when accessing services for the transmission to be secure

DimAuthAsnewOAuth2AuthenticatorAuth.Setup_ClientId:="Your client id",_ClientSecret:="Your client secret",_Username:="Your username",_Password:="Your password"
