HCP authentication

In an HS3 request that uses HCP authentication, you use the HTTP Authorization header to provide credentials, in this format:

Authorization: HCP access-key:secret-key

In this format:

access-key is the Base64-encoded username for your user account.

secret-key is the MD5-hashed password for your user account.

Here’s an example of an Authorization header for HCP authentication:

Authorization: AWS bGdyZWVu:35dc4c4aa08fe0deab7e292e00eb8e97

With HCP authentication, the Authorization header for requesting anonymous access looks like this:

Authorization: HCP all_users:
