Basic Authentication

Introduction

" Basic Authentication " is a simple authentication scheme built into the HTTP protocol. It is based on challenge-response mechanism and is widely used for securing web applications and APIs. In this method the client or user sends a request. The request header contains the Base64-encoded username and password, seprated by a colon. When handling the request, the server decodes the login details and checks if the user can access the requested content.

Format of Authorization Header:

Authorization: Basic base64(username:password)

The base64(username:password) is the base64 encoding of the concatenation of the username and password, separated by a colon (:).

Headers

Example

Here's an example using cURL:

curl -X GET "https://api.example.com/resource" -H "Authorization: Basic dXNlcm5hbWU6cGFzc3dvcmQ="
