Dear community,

I'm trying to setup a REST call against an external resource that is secured by HTTP Basic Authentication.

The common thing described here
http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSMKHH_10.0.0/com.ibm.etools.mft.doc/bp19260_.htm

is working in an usual way.

The RESTRequest Node should also allow the use of a Security Identity. This one I've created with the following command
Code:
mqsisetdbparms EIB001 -n rest::CHECKMOBILE -u <username> -p <password>


As described here
https://developer.ibm.com/integration/blog/2016/09/27/consuming-rest-apis-by-using-the-new-rest-request-nodes-in-ibm-integration-bus/#pnext_collapsible_7

the promise is

Quote:
The HTTP request nodes support HTTP Basic Authentication, but it is not a simple experience. The options include placing usernames and passwords into the Properties message tree, or using security policies, or building your own “Authorization” header.

The REST request node improves this by providing support for automatically handling HTTP Basic Authentication and API authentication keys using security credentials defined using the familiar “mqsisetdbparms” command.

This support requires that the Swagger document includes information on the security requirements for the REST APIs. ...


So far I've added a section to the Swagger that I'm using like

Code:
  "securityDefinitions" : {
    "CHECKMOBILE": {
      "type": "basic"
    }
  }


With this done the authentication doesn't work. Did I miss something here? Many thanks for any hints.

Best
- Gerald

Found it.

It's necessary to add the use of the security definition to the path definition in the Swagger file as well like

Code:
  "paths" : {
    "/v1/checkmobile/artikel" : {
      "get" : {
        "operationId" : "getArtikel",
        "responses" : {
          "200" : {
            "description" : "OK",
            "schema" : {
              "$ref" : "#/definitions/artikel"
            }
          },
          "401" : {
            "description" : "Authentifizierung erforderlich",
            "schema" : {
              "type" : [ "string", "null" ]
            }
          },
          "403" : {
            "description" : "Zugriff nicht gestattet",
            "schema" : {
              "type" : [ "string", "null" ]
            }
          },
          "404" : {
            "description" : "Ressource nicht gefunden",
            "schema" : {
              "type" : [ "string", "null" ]
            }
          },
          "500" : {
            "description" : "Interner Serverfehler",
            "schema" : {
              "type" : [ "string", "null" ]
            }
          }
        },
        "produces" : [ "application/json" ],
        "description" : "Retrieve artikel",
        "parameters" : [ ],
        "security" : [
          { "CHECKMOBILE": [ ] }
        ]
