How do you set basic authentication while making calls through Postman or any rest client?

If you are sending a base64encode string as an Authorization header,

• then use a KVM to store the username and password values.
• In the proxy use, KVM get to get the values and use Encode operation of Basic Authentication Policy. It can also set the Authorization header.

If you want to send them as FormParams, uri params, payload, queryparams, use Assign Message policy.

Also, tell us how are you connecting to Twilio? Are you using a Service callout policy?

Can you mask sensitive data and share the Twilo CURL here.

Thank, when I make request to Twilio the response is:

Authentication Error - No credentials provided", "more_info": "https://www.twilio.com/docs/errors/20003", "status": 401}

So I need to set the Username and Password to access the twilio application and return the reply message to my phone number.

The curl is the following:

curl 'https://api.twilio.com/date/Accounts/<AccountSid>/Messages.json' -X POST

--data-urlencode 'To=+98765432109'

--data-urlencode 'From=+01234567890'

--data-urlencode 'MessagingServiceSid=<ServiceSid>

--data-urlencode 'Body=Texting with Twilio is easy :)'

-u <AccuntSid>:<AuthToken>

Thank you.
