Creating the soapUI HTTP Basic Auth header

soapUI supports adding custom HTTP headers into the web service request. However, soapUI does not include support for HTTP Basic Auth. The user must create the header manually.

Procedure

  1. In the Request window, select the Headers tab.
  2. Click + to add a header. The name of the header must be Authorization. Click OK.
  3. In the value box, type the word Basic plus the base64-encoded username:password. Use a base 64 encoder/decoder tool to create the base64 user:password string. For example, the Base64 version of testuser:testpwd is dGVzdHVzZXI6dGVzdHB3ZA== so the Value for the header would be
    Basic dGVzdHVzZXI6dGVzdHB3ZA==
