Hi, 

I have a requirement to extract user id and password from X-Authorization header. 

I am using gateway script to extract X-Authorization header value which is in base64 encoded format. 

When i try to decode extracted header value i tried with below buffer function , I am getting request in buffer data format. Can you please help with the steps to extract result value in plain text. 

var AuthHeader = new Buffer('Zm9vAGJhcg==','base64');

Thanks.

Hi Srikanth,
To decode a base64 encoded string:

let toDecode = 'dXNlcmlkOnBhc3N3b3Jk'; // base-64 encoded userid:password
let decoded = Buffer.from(toDecode, 'base64').toString();

Be careful - this part is safe:
```
let decoded = Buffer.from(toDecode, 'base64')
```

".toString()" will only work if the buffer contains "string" data.
