progress.data.Session.AUTH_TYPE_ANON — The Mobile Web application supports Anonymous access. No authentication is required. This is the default value if none is passed to the JSDOSession constructor.

progress.data.Session.AUTH_TYPE_BASIC — The Mobile Web application supports HTTP Basic authentication and requires a valid username and password. To have the JSDOSession object manage access to the Web application's resources for you, you need to pass these credentials in a call to the JSDOSession object's login( ) method. Typically, you would require the user to enter their credentials into a login dialog provided by your Mobile App, either using a form of your own design or using a template provided by Progress Software Corp.

progress.data.Session.AUTH_TYPE_FORM — The Mobile Web application uses Form-based authentication. Like HTTP Basic, Form-based authentication requires user credentials for access to protected resources; the difference is that the Web application itself sends a form to the client to get the credentials. However, when you have the JSDOSession object manage access to the Web application's resources, you handle Form-based authentication the same way that you handle Basic—get the user's credentials yourself and pass them to the login( ) method. The JSDOSession intercepts the form sent by the Web application and handles the authentication without that form being displayed.
