Basic Authentication¶
The Basic Authentication uses the Authorization header when performing HTTP requests. This method must only be used if a username and password are required to access the web-server.
To use this authentication, you must select “Basic Authentication” as the value for the “Authentication Type” field.
The required fields to configure Basic Authentication include:
Username: This field provides the username for the request. This field is required.
Password: This field provides the password for the request. This field is required.
Example¶
You must make a request to a web-server (data server) that requires the username “Sponge” and the password “Bob”.
To configure Basic Authentication, the following fields are required:
Username: Sponge
Password: Bob
