public class BasicLocalConnectionContext
extends LocalConnectionContext

BasicLocalConnectionContext implements HTTP Basic Authentication as a LocalConnectionContext. Connections are provided as Objects: they may be URL, LDAP, database connections, etc.

In order to use this class you should define two publish time parameters for your channel: remote.username and remote.password. The username and password default to "tomcat" if you don't set them.
