Re: Basic authentication against automated attacks

Ken,

Thank you for your quick response.

I assume that a much greater number of components would be involved
"after" the authentication process. If this assumption is correct, is
it fair to say that basic authentication (with SSL) would minimise the
risk of such attacks (buffer overflow) being successful.

Thanks again,
Bulent
