WSO2 enterprise integrator, adding header to backend request - wso2

Question

I've just started looking at WSO2 enterprise integrator.
I'm currently stuck when I'm trying to create an API which calls a backend service which requires authentication.
I'm currently stuck trying to add a simple header which its suppose to send to the backend as it needs authentication to access it.
I'm using their eclipse tooling and my XML currently looks like this.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<api context="/one" name="singleRestApi" xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse">
<resource methods="GET">
<inSequence>
<header name="Authorization" scope="transport" value="Basic ZWNYGWRtaH42Q2xvdGRBZG1pbjmeMw=="/>
<send>
<endpoint key="repos"/>
</send>
</inSequence>
<outSequence>
<send/>
</outSequence>
<faultSequence/>
</resource>
</api>
Currently following the integration tutorials: here
Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

You should try to put your Authorization in a property instead of an header (if you want to do a simple basic authentication)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<api context="/one" name="singleRestApi" xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse">
<resource methods="GET">
<inSequence>
<property action="remove" name="REST_URL_POSTFIX" scope="axis2"/>
<property name="Authorization" scope="transport" value="Basic ZWNYGWRtaH42Q2xvdGRBZG1pbjmeMw=="/>
<send>
<endpoint key="repos"/>
</send>
</inSequence>
<outSequence>
<send/>
</outSequence>
<faultSequence/>
</resource>
</api>
the <property action="remove" name="REST_URL_POSTFIX" scope="axis2"/>
part is to remove the api context (after /one) when sending to your backend endpoint, if you need to keep it you can remove this line
