Description

Some WebSocket server uses Basic Authentication for WebSocket upgrade requests. In order to connect such endpoints, NiFi should allow users to configure user name and password at WebSocket client component. Specifically JettyWebSocketClientService.

In addition to that, if JettyWebSocketServerService can be configured to use Basic Authentication, it makes NiFi WebSocket server more secure and also useful to test Basic Auth between NiFi WebSocket client components.
