Authenticating API requests

webMethods Integration uses the HTTP basic authentication method to authenticate each HTTP request that is made to the API.

With this authentication mechanism, webMethods Integration verifies the identity of API consumers and ensures that they have the necessary permission to access relevant data.

You pass your tenant login credentials to authenticate yourself as you make a request to the API in a REST client application. The credentials that are contained in an Authentication header are verified in webMethods Integration against the list of registered tenant users and allows the users to access the relevant data.
