JSON format

The Authentication object of the Source document is a subset of the full Authentication object in that it only uses the 'username' and 'password' fields.

It is used for the authentication of RSS sources and database sources, but not to allow access to file sources (which includes the domain and occurs in the linked object).

{
	"username" : "string", // String
	"password" : "string", // String - NOTE this is sha-256/Base64 encoded
}

Note: The password field in the Authentication object is currently clear text. If the string value placed in password is clear text it is not encrypted by Infinit.e. Encryption of the password field is planned for a future release.
