Basic authentication

To configure the driver to use basic authentication.

• Set the AuthenticationMethod property to Basic.
• Set the ServerName property to specify the URL of the GitHub service to which you want to issue requests. For example, github.enterprise.com for enterprise accounts and api.github.com for cloud accounts.
• Set the User property to specify the user name that is used to connect to the GitHub service. For example, jsmith.
• Set the Password property to specify the password used to connect to the GitHub service.

The following examples show the connection information required to establish a connection using the basic authentication.

Connection URL

Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection
  ("jdbc:datadirect:github:AuthenticationMethod=Basic;
    ServerName=github.enterprise.com;DefaultQueryOptions=
    (OrgName=xyz;UserName=abc;RepoName=RN1;ProjectId=123;ColumnId=CID1;);
    User=jsmith;Password=secret;");

GitHubDataSource mds = new GitHubDataSource();
mds.setDescription("My GitHub Data Source");
mds.setAuthenticationMethod("Basic");
mds.setServerName("github.enterprise.com");
mds.setUser("jsmith");
mds.setPassword("secret");
