Use Form-Based Authentication Use form-based authentication. After the username and password credentials are validated by the Administrator server, the server creates a session identified by a unique key that is passed between the client and server on each subsequent HTTP request. This approach is more secure because authentication credentials are only sent during the initial handshake and not with every request.
Server Version Version of the Administrator deployment server for which the script is being generated:
  • Unknown Version
  • 3.1.x
  • 3.2.0
  • 3.3.0
