.. _-authenticateBasicPF-java-:
authenticateBasicPF
===================
Wraps the inner route with Http Basic authentication support using a given ``AuthenticatorPF<T>``.
Description
-----------
Provides support for handling `HTTP Basic Authentication`_.
Refer to :ref:`-authenticateBasic-java-` for a detailed description of this directive.
Its semantics are equivalent to ``authenticateBasicPF`` 's, where not handling a case in the Partial Function (PF)
leaves the request to be rejected with a :class:`AuthenticationFailedRejection` rejection.
Longer-running authentication tasks (like looking up credentials in a database) should use :ref:`-authenticateBasicAsync-java-`
or :ref:`-authenticateBasicPFAsync-java-` if you prefer to use the ``PartialFunction`` syntax.
See :ref:`credentials-and-timing-attacks-java` for details about verifying the secret.
.. warning::
Make sure to use basic authentication only over SSL/TLS because credentials are transferred in plaintext.
