Configure Basic authentication

You can configure HTTP basic authentication in the API Engine to communicate with your webservices. This requires a user name and password.

To do so, follow the steps below:

Select your API Module.
In the Technical View, click on the Auth tab.
In the Authentication drop-down menu, select Basic.
Enter your Username and Password.
Select Pre-authenticate if you want to send the authentication details with your first message.

Without pre-authentication, the first message doesn't contain authentication details and the server returns a challenge.
