We have created a EJB component and deployed as WebServices in WAS 5.1
The WebServices deployed is a generic one. We need a basic authentication(username/password) for the webservices. The authentication should be handled in the webservice.
The calling application does not use Webservice client.
Can anyone suggest a feasible solution for the above requirement?

There are some options:
1. You can use HTTP Basic Authentication. Username and password can be included in HTTP Request Header. You must also enable SSL.
2. You can use Form-based authentication and then return authenticate token to web service client. You must also enable SSL.
3. Use client authentication using X.509 certificate.
