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
