Basic Authentication using email and password of logged in user

Hello,

I am trying to call Liferay commerce API which requires Basic Authentication. If I hardcode email password it works well, but I want to access Basic Authentication Base64 encoded credentials. Can anyone please let me know how can I access these in liferay.

Thanks

Hi,

Basic Authentication Base64 encoded credentials - Needs to be formed using username and password as below,

In Header you can pass below values
Name - Authorization

Value - Basic Base64(username:password)
