Our internal security group has removed support for 'AuthType Basic'. I have been told that IBM HTTP Server only supports AuthType Basic. We currently have an exception in place, for our software package that relies on IBM HTTP. I believe that IBM HTTP should be update to support other/valid AuthType settings. Please see IBM case # TS011728903. I was mistaken in my thought we were using Websphere.

At the current time, our one application (vendor provided) would not function (with user validation) without AuthType Basic. I could turn off authentication, but that is not a desired option. Our workaround will only be in place temporarily.
