Basic User authentication using SecurityContext

For my implementation I need to access data sources using username &
password. Therefore the client must deliver these information to the
web-service.

I'd like to use the basic authorization of http (something like this:
"Authorization: Basic c2FkZmFzZGY6c2FkZmRzYWRzYWY=")

On the other side I need to get username and password for access. Is
there a way to get this information using @Content SecurityContext? Or
do I need to set the Authorization String manually.
