Web Service Integration with Basic Authentication
I have searched for hours, but do not seem to be able to find any explanation.
I am building a web service and want to use Basic Authentication.
Do I have to check userid and password against an application database, or does BarTender check against local Windows users and if so, what is the behaviour in case of a failure?
Help files hold no information on this and all searches only lead me to the REST API of BarTender itself.
All comments are much appreciated!

Have you seen this post>

I believe all you need to make sure is that the credentials of the “user” account running the Integration have sufficient permissions to access these and this is normally the user account that is running the BarTender Print Schedluer Service

Thanks Peter Thane yes, I think I read every article and forum comment on the subject, but did not get anywhere.
My task is to create a secure web service integration to receive JSON objects and perform all sorts of automation tasks. To control access our supplier suggested basic authentication and HTTPS. Neither of which is very well documented, especially the HTTPS part. It tells you how to create and attach a certificate, but it does not tell you how to prevent the ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID error from happening or what you need to do to handle CORS policy correctly.
Everybody is trying to make such interfaces watertight to avoid abuse, but there is not enough documentation to achieve it with the Integration platform :-(
Anyway, thanks for your response, if I find a working setup I'll try to put it here.
