The Outbound Basic Auth Policy enables you to set up a Basic Authentication account for verification at a proxy endpoint level when you establish a connection with a service or a system. It provides flexibility to add login credentials to the header, body, or query string parameter. A pre-configured preconfigured Basic Auth account is needed to connect with the backend service so you can access third-party URLs through the Proxy.

Info

  • The Basic Auth Outbound Policy is not available for APIs and API versions.

  • The preconfigured accounts used in this policy automatically reflect the changes made to the name of Basic Auth account in the global shared folder.

  • Deletion of the Basic Auth account invalidates the policy and display an error. In this case, you must select another account by navigating to the Policy Setting.

Prerequisites

  • Pre-configured Preconfigured Basic Authentication Account.

...

The Outbound Basic Auth Policy executes after all policies, when the proxy calls the downstream API.

Info

All expression-enabled fields take expressions from the SnapLogic SnapLogic® Expression Language and the API Policy Manager functions.
