Hello,

* Build a string of the form username:password
* Base64 encode the string
* Go to Soap UI and add the following header to your request

Header name paramter: “Authorization” with content “Basic ” followed by the encoded string. For example, for the user fred:fred the content will be

Basic ZnJlZDpmcmVk
