Issue/Introduction

While creating a Javelin flow that makes API calls to the TDM Portal server, when passing the user and password needed to generate the Security Token, the Javelin flow fails to authenticate, even though the IsBasicAuthenticaion parameter is set to true.

Environment

Javelin 4.9.x or greater

Resolution

 If passing a user and password in the flow activity, to generate the Security Token, do not set the IsBasicAuthentitaion to true, as this will cause an error, and the flow will fail. IsBasicAuthentication is not required, and should not be used when using a Bearer token.
