tRestrequest http basic auth , how to add the username and password

[Cherichoc-]

For security reasons we were requested to add HTTP basic auth on our APIs. I have never done this.

On tRestrequest there is that checkbox for use Authentication, but what would be the next step to setup the authentication. Do i do it on Karaf, or on Studio platform. Can someone take me on step to step to complete the process

I managed to find a few answers on

https://karaf.apache.org/manual/latest-3.0.x/security .

1. I noticed that authentication only happened once thereafter, when using the API it didnt require auth. Is this how it works or is there something i should add on apache
