Authorization
To supply the Authorization header with value Basic <auth>, perform the following steps:
Build a string of the form
username:api tokenusing Jenkins credentials. Generate API Token in Jenkins from the API Token section of Configure in the User Profile.Encode the string in Base64 format.
Supply an "Authorization" header with content "Basic " followed by the encoded string. For example, the string "admin:" encodes to "YWRtaW46MTE5ZWJiNjA0ZDJkY2NjM2E0OTEzYzFhZjVjOTIxOQ==" in base64. So the Basic <auth> value would be as follows.
Basic YWRtaW46MTE5ZWJiNjA0ZDJkY2NjM2E0OTEzYzFhZjVjOTIxOQ==
