Create authentication Module Attributes

If you communicate with a web service that requires authentication, you have to configure the authentication details in your request message. This means that you have to enter information such as a user name, password, or certificate.

With the API Engine 3.0, you can create Module Attributes for these message authentication details which enables you to steer them in your API TestCases.

To create a Module Attribute from authentication details, follow the steps below:

1. Select the request Module and switch to the Technical View.

2. Click the Auth tab.

3. Click in the authentication field that you want to steer.

4. Click Add in the API Testing menu.

The API Engine creates Module Attributes for the selected authentication details such as user name and password.
