Server Authentication

MATLAB^® provides programmatic interfaces to these Web service interfaces.

• RESTful (Representational state transfer)—Use the webread, webwrite, and websave functions in Web Services to read content from RESTful Web services.

• HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol)—Use the Use HTTP with MATLAB API to implement advanced HTTP messaging semantics.

To use a proxy server, see Proxy Server Authentication.

Server Authentication For RESTful Web Services

Kerberos is not supported on Linux^® and macOS platforms.

Authentication	Platform	weboptions	weboptions Arguments	System Setup
Basic	Windows® Linux macOS	Required	Username and Password	N/A
Digest	Windows Linux macOS	Required	Username and Password	N/A
NTLM	Windows	Optional	Do not specify Username or Password	Logged into Windows domain
NTLM	Linux macOS	Required	Username and Password	N/A
Kerberos Negotiate (SPNEGO)	Windows	Optional	Do not specify Username or Password	Logged into Kerberos domain

Server Authentication For HTTP Web Services

Kerberos is not supported on Linux and macOS platforms.

Server Authentication	Platform	matlab.net.http HTTPOptions Object	matlab.net.http Credentials Properties	System Setup
Basic Digest	Windows Linux macOS	Credentials property	Username and Password	N/A
NTLM	Windows	Credentials property	Username and Password ignored	Logged into Windows domain
NTLM	Linux macOS	Credentials property	Username and Password	N/A
Kerberos Negotiate (SPNEGO)	Windows	Credentials property	Username and Password ignored	Logged into Kerberos domain

Create Header Fields for OAuth Authentication

The matlab.net.http.AuthenticationScheme class does not support the OAuth authentication scheme. However, you can create the specific header fields required by OAuth. For an example, see Accessing Twitter with HTTP Interface in MATLAB.
