To configure the driver to use basic authentication:
- Set the ServerName property to specify the base URL of the Aha! service to which you want to issue requests. For example, company.aha.io.
- Set the AuthenticationMethod property to
Basic(the default). - Set the User property to specify your logon ID.
- Set the Password property to specify your password.
- Optionally, specify values for any additional properties you want to configure.
The following examples demonstrate a session using a REST file with basic authentication enabled and AuthHeader set to the default.
For a connection URL:
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection
("jdbc:datadirect:aha://company.aha.io;user=jsmith@company.com;password=secret;");
For a data source:
AutoRESTDataSource mds = new AhaDataSource();
mds.setDescription("My Aha Data Source");
mds.setServerName("company.aha.io");
