Basic Access Authentication

Basic Access Authentication is the primary Oracle ILOM REST API client authentication method. When using this method, the HTTP request includes an Authorization header field to validate the user's identity. For example:

                        Authorization: BASIC encoded_credentials
                        
                     

Where encoded_credentials is the Base64 encoding of the user name and password joined by a colon.

Basic Access Authentication Example:

GET /System HTTP/1.1
Authorization: BASIC cm9vdDpjaGFuX2VtZQ==
Accept: application/json
