Data source HTTP basic authentication

The data source is stored on a web-server. If the web server with your data source supports HTTP basic authentication, you will need to configure it in the data source configuration.

This article shows how you can configure the HTTP basic authentication in the Table Grid Cloud data source.

We use Headers to add authentication.
