Retrieve user and password from HTTP header

We have an EGL service which calls several RPG programs. In order to run these RPG programs under the loggod on user we pass the user and password to the EGL service as parameters.
We rather pass the user and password in the HTML header (using ServiceLib.setHTTPBasicAuthentication(svc, user, password)), but cannot retrieve these credentials in the EGL service.

    IBM Business Developer is a continuous delivery offering, and aims to satisfy the needs of a rapidly evolving market segment. Product strategy evolves and requirements are continuously evaluated against that strategy. This RFE has recently been reappraised against the wider product strategy and does not fall into IBMs delivery plans for the next 12 month. Whilst this RFE might be valid and we might look to deliver longer term, this RFE is being rejected at this time.

    This RFE is more than a decade old. It might not be relevant now. Please create a new RFE if this requirement still exists.

    We agree that it would be good to provide a way to pass information between the client and server without having to pass it as a parameter. We will consider this for our planning for future releases.

    This RFE is consistent with our strategy and product roadmap and IBM is continuing to evaluate.
