API http authentication

Hello,
I am trying to setup a software with an API in my linux server but at some field there are some codes which are called "http authentication"
I dont know how to run them.
Could anybody give me an idea about how it's working.
How http authentication is done; from linux terminal or from browser as well as chrome,mozilla or from terminal under mysql?

Code:
HTTP_METHOD

HTTP methods which are supported.

GET    - data obtaining
PUT    - updating
POST   - creating
DELETE - deleting


Authentification and authorization

Example 1. Data obtain about other devices.

> GET [API_URL]/stb
< {"status":"OK","results":[{"mac":"00:1A:79:00:15:B3","status":0,"additional_services_on":"0","ls":1553,"login":"1553","online":"1"},
{"mac":"00:1A:79:00:39:5E","status":0,"additional_services_on":"1","ls":3,"login":"3","online":"0"}]

thanks in advance
Boris

Hello,
I have learnt that when we call a php file with put,get,post,delete commands from terminal right after adding some mysql commands inside that php file, it creates a database/table etc or deletes some tables or displays current status in sql.

b.regards
Boris

NAME
ttys - terminal control database file for trusted systems SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
The system supports a single terminal control database containing entries for each local terminal that can log into the system. Authentica- tion programs use information contained in the terminal control database to determine if login from the terminal is permitted. Additional fields are maintained for informational purposes. The format of the terminal control database file is identical to other system authentication database files. For more information on the file format, see authcap(4). The file consists of keyword field identifiers and values for those fields. The keyword identifiers supported and their use include: This field defines the terminal device name for the entry. The terminal device is expected to be contained in the directory, therefore this prefix should not be specified. If the terminal entry describes the device, the field should contain This field records the user id of the last user to successfully login using the terminal device. This field records the last successful login time to the terminal device. This field records the last unsuccessful login time to the terminal device. This field records the number of consecutive unsuccessful login attempts to the terminal device. This field specifies the maximum number of consecutive unsuccessful login attempts permitted using the terminal before the terminal is locked. Once the terminal is locked, it must be unlocked by an authorized administrator. This field specifies the login timeout value (sec). This field specifies the delay between login tries (sec). This flag field indicates whether the terminal device has been administratively locked or not. This field is manipulated by authorized administrators only. EXAMPLES
The following is an example of a terminal control database entry: This entry is for the system console device, The most recent successful login session was for the user The entry records the system time for the current successful login and the time of the most recent unsuccessful login attempt. WARNINGS
Remote terminals (ptys) should not be added to the or databases. Device name formats treated as ptys by login are: where x is a letter, and y is a hex number where x is a letter, and y is a hex number HP-UX 11i Version 3 is the last release to support trusted systems functionality. AUTHOR
