Interface: ezcWebdavBasicAuthenticator

Interface for Basic authentication mechanism. [source]
This interface must be implemented by objects that provide authentication through a username/password combination, as defined by the HTTP Basic authentication method.
An instance of a class implementing this interface may be used in the ezcWebdavServer $auth property. The WebDAV server will then use this instance to perform authentication. In addition, classes may implement ezcWebdavDigestAuthenticator and are highly recommended to do so.
