How to pass SiteMinder credentials in Gateway URL to get the response from browser

Products

• CA API Gateway

Issue/Introduction

There is an API that the Application team can only pass the complete URL from an Enact Azure link, as there is no option to pass the Siteminder credentials as a header.

How do you frame the API(URL), including credentials, and test it from a browser?

example : https://{hostname}/uri?{query params} --> Protected by Siteminder

Authorization: Basic {Username/password}

 

Environment

API Gateway 9.4

Resolution

Both of the below suggestions can be used to test the API from the browser. 

(1) https://hostname.example.com/aws01?username=user01&password=myPword01 [where aws01 is the API name]

or 

(2) https://username:[email protected]:8443/basic
