VBO HTTP Utility usage question

This is a SOS question. I've tried many ways of using the HTTP POST request utility, however I always get an error message that goes: Authentication failed. Please check your credentials and try again


{"resource":"\/suite\/webapi\/mark","error":"APNX-1-4187-000","message":"Authentication failed. Please check your credentials and try again.","title":"An Error Has Occurred"}

Can someone please look at the screenshot of my HTTP request VBO parameters and help restore my sanity please.

Yes, the issue was with credentials, but it was not a straight forward fix. I had to convert the user/pwd to base64 and pass it in the Header as a "Authorization" parameter to make this work.

Hi @mark411 . I am having very similar issue when I am trying to access JIRA API. Could you please explain more on how to convert username and password to base64 and how do I pass that as an Authorization parameter through Header?

I just used the internet to convert.. there are many tools. After conversion if will look like a set of alphanumeric characters, and not decipherable by human eye. Let me know if this helps
