If HCP is configured to support Windows Active Directory® (AD), you can also use an AD user account that HCP recognizes to access HCP through the HSwift API.
You need to provide credentials with every HSwift API request. If you do not provide credentials or provide invalid credentials, HCP responds with a 403 (Forbidden) error message.
To authenticate to HCP with Active Directory, you need to construct an authentication token from a AD user account and then submit it using a request header with all requests. The username and password does not need to be encoded.
HCP also accepts Active Directory provided through the SPNEGO protocol. For more information on SPNEGO, see http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4559.
