Class BasicAuthenticationCredential

java.lang.Object
com.azure.core.credential.BasicAuthenticationCredential
All Implemented Interfaces:
TokenCredential
public class BasicAuthenticationCredential extends Object implements TokenCredential

The BasicAuthenticationCredential is used to authenticate and authorize requests made to Azure services using the Basic authentication scheme. Basic Authentication is a simple authentication scheme that uses a combination of a username and password.

Note that Basic Authentication is generally considered less secure than other authentication methods, such as Azure Active Directory (AAD) authentication. It is recommended to use Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) authentication via TokenCredential whenever possible, especially for production environments.

Sample: Azure SAS Authentication

The following code sample demonstrates the creation of a BasicAuthenticationCredential, using username and password 

 BasicAuthenticationCredential basicAuthenticationCredential =
     new BasicAuthenticationCredential("<username>", "<password>");
