Basic Authentication Support for the Proxy

Adding Basic Authentication support to the outbound flow when connecting to a backend service through the API proxy is important to enhance the security and flexibility of outbound connection in the SnapLogic APIM solution. This authentication is executed on the JCC level, and the other policies applied are executed after the execution of Basic Authentication.

  1. Add the Basic Authentication security schema to the API specification.

  2. The Authorize the Basic Authentication you added with login credentials to your API specification will need authorization with login credentials..

  3. Click on the Authorize button:

  4. Enter the login credentials to authenticate:

  5. Click the Authorize button.

  • If the Proxy fails to execute with the Basic Authentication, then you can override the execution with the policies applied such as the Basic Auth Policy, Authorize by Role Policy, etc.

  • Basic Authentication is the first security level authorization and not a policy. It is an extended support of the Bearer Authentication Schema for the Proxy.
