Hi all,

when configuring PSO ARP to send to a webservice I cannot see the WebServiceUsername and the WebServicePassword in the POST.

I used webhook to perform this test, it’s not in the body or the header.. has anyone got this to show before?

In the Scheduling Broadcast this shows in the header, not the same for the ARP broadcast apparently.

Many thanks,

Hi Dan, when sending a web service request this way a request is first made to the service without credentials. If the server rejects the request with a Basic WWW-Authenticate challenge then the credentials will be sent.

You can see the flow described here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Authentication
