Method Detail

authorize

public static void authorize(org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpRequestBase request,
             Credentials credentials)

Sets the authorisation header on the request, if credentials are present. This code is backwards-compatible with versions of Neo4j prior to 2.2 that do not require users to be authenticated in order to connect. In 2.2.0 M04 Neo4j only has support for single-user String-based authentication based on username and password. As the security of Neo4j improves, it is likely that other auth mechanisms will be enabled (e.g OAuth). When this happens, we'll most likely need a proper AuthenticationManager object, but for now, this will do.

Parameters:

request - The HttpRequest that may need an auth header.

credentials - the Credentials with which to authorise the session
