Basic authentication

As of Adaptix 2.3.0, support for basic authentication can be enabled through Adaptix’s Configuration -> API Settings. As with OAuth2, it is only recommended to use basic authentication over HTTPS.

To authorize a request for basic authentication, set an Authorization header.

  1. Combine the username and password of a Adaptix user with a colon :. For example, user:password.
  2. Base64 encode the string from above. dXNlcjpwYXNzd29yZA==.
  3. Add an Authorization header to each API request as Authorization: Basic dXNlcjpwYXNzd29yZA==
