AJAX Call with HTTP Basic Authentication Example

A call to business entity services requires HTTP basic authentication.

The following code shows an example of an AJAX call with HTTP basic authentication that uses jQuery:

<script type="text/javascript">
    function readMeta(user, pass){
            $.ajax({
                    type: "GET",
                    url: "/cmx/cs/localhost-mdm-DS_UI1/Person?action=meta",
                    dataType: 'json',
                    async: false,
                    headers: {
                            "Authorization": "Basic " + btoa(user + ":" + pass)
                    },
                    success: function (data) {
                            alert('Data received! ' + data.object.label);
                    }
            });
    }
</script>

In this example,

btoa

is a standard function that encodes a string in the Base64 format.

The developer who implements this call can decide how to pass the user name and password.

For the AJAX calls to be successful, host the JavaScript application on the same domain as the MDM Hub.
