Cloud Pak for Business Automation

I have a test REST service in BPM on cloud which I managed to call it using postman without any authentication

How to protect custom REST Service using basic authentication?

Hi Ali,

you likely did not invoke it without any authentication. postman is a browser plugin and will send all your cookies to the service.

If your user has a password, basic auth may just work. There is also a concept of system accounts. Please search documentation for "fid" or "functional id".

I also recommend using curl instead of postman to be sure what exactly your client is sending.
