  • 1.  Proxy Basic Authentication.

    Posted Wed December 13, 2023 07:28 AM

    Hi,
    Is it possible to forward the basic authentication info to the back end server?
    I have a Multi Protocol Gateway where I would like to just forward the message with UN/PW untouched.

    Is it a pass-through request? 

    If not, at what point is the header being removed?   (Header suppression?)

    Is something within the processing overwriting it?

    Hi Joacim,
    If the proxy server requires a Proxy-Authorization header, you would provide those credential in the service's user agent for the proxy server url. I'm assuming that is what you did unless of course you injected the header in a GatewayScript or XSLT prior to either the using urlopen or end of the request rule that is using a routing-url that requires the proxy server?
    Best Regards,

    Steve
