Basic Authentication Scheme
Authentication Schemes and Credentials can be created, edit and applied directly within the relevant Edit Connector page under Enable Authentication.
This is HTTP basic authentication that uses a valid base64-encoded username:password string placed into the request header. As a basic authentication scheme, it does not provide robust security.
The Basic authentication scheme uses a Username/Password credential that is applied to a Connector.

In a project, select Home > Auth. Scheme. Alternatively, to edit directly within a specific Connector configuration, go to Connectors > Edit Connector > Enable Authentication.
Click Basic Authentication.
