Re: [Handle-info] HS_SECKEY authentication for REST API

Create a handle, and in that handle record create a value of type HS_SECKEY.  By convention the secret or public key is placed at index 300, but this is not necessary.  Also, the HS_SECKEY value should be made not-world-readable (the hdl-admintool client does this for you).

After this handle is created with an HS_SECKEY value, that handle can be used with HTTP Basic authentication.

For the purpose of using REST API and Basic Access Authentication. How to set the HS_SECKEY password?  I didn’t remember setting it. I always use admpriv.bin file for auth in clients.
