How to add basic authentication in API Management

Question

For details, we are setting an inbound policy where REST service is converted to Soap.
So here, we need to add basic authentication for the URL in the frontend part and in the backend we have Azure Logic App which gets triggered when APIM-Request URL is called from SoapUI.

Below is our code which we have used in the inbound section of APIM :

<policies>
<inbound>
<base />
<set-method id="apim-generated-policy">POST</set-method>
<rewrite-uri id="apim-generated-policy" template="/manual/paths/invoke/?api-version=2016-06-01&sp=/triggers/manual/run&sv=1.0&sig={<!-- -->{ala-barcoding-grn_manual-invoke_5fb3af363b4e13318c5c3994}}" />
<set-header id="apim-generated-policy" name="Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key" exists-action="delete" />
<set-variable name="barcodegrn" value="@(context.Response.Headers.GetValueOrDefault("SOAPAction","https://interface.com:443/workflows/"))" />
<choose>
<when condition="@(context.Variables.GetValueOrDefault<string>("barcodegrn")
=="https://interface.com:443/workflows/")">
<set-backend-service base-url="https://prod-91.westeurope.logic.azure.com:443/workflows/***********************/triggers/" />
<set-body template="liquid">
{
"insert_BARCODING_GRN":
{
"GR_NUMBER" : "{<!-- -->{body.envelope.body.barcodegrn.input.GR_NUMBER}}",
"GR_ITEM" : "{<!-- -->{body.envelope.body.barcodegrn.input.GR_ITEM}}",
"MATERIAL_DOC_YEAR": "{<!-- -->{body.envelope.body.barcodegrn.input.GR_ITEM}}"
}
}
</set-body>
</when>
</choose>
<set-header name="Content-Type" exists-action="override">
<value>application/json</value>
</set-header>
</inbound>
<backend>
<base />
</backend>
<outbound>
<base />
</outbound>
<on-error>
<base />
</on-error>
</policies>

So, in the above code we need to add basic authentication code.

Answer 1

Try adding this to the inbound policy
<authentication-basic username="username" password="password" />
