Hello Qiuyun Yu ,

 

We have tried what you described in your post. The result is the same that he couldn't authenticate. Here are some screenshots of what we have done. Before the Authorization key states it's Basic. Result is the same if we remove it. In the manual is described that we use Basic Authentication to connect with HP ALM. https://admhelp.microfocus.com/alm/en/latest/api_refs/REST/webframe.htm#Overview.htm
