A4J Send Web Request Authorization not working

[Vikrant Yadav]

Hi Guys,

Need your help in sending HTTP web request from A4J. I am not sure why Authorization is not working. I tried all the method like Authorization Bearer <token> or Authorization Basic <token> but for all them getting unauthorized error. Kindly suggest, same token working in postman.

I have fixed it. 

Here is the solution : 

• Set the Header name to Authorization.
• Set the Header value to Basic<space><encoded_credentials>, where <encoded_credentials> is a base64-encoded string of your username:password.

To generate encoded credentials for your username and password in base64 format, you can use various methods, including online tools, command-line tools, or programming languages. Here are a few options:

1. Go to a base64 encoder website, such as Base64 Encode.
2. Enter your credentials in the format username:password in the input field.
3. Click the "Encode" button.
4. Copy the encoded string that is generated.
5. In the Headers section, add a new header with:
   • Header name: Authorization
   • Header value: Basic dXNlcjpwYXNz (replace dXNlcjpwYXNz with your actual encoded string)
