Connect to REST API with custom (X-) header API

I'm trying to connect using the Web connector.  I'm choosing "Advanced" here and populating with the needed data:

I then get this message:

I want to connect anonymously but I never get prompted with that option.  If I choose "Basic," I do get the option.  How do I prevent authorization headers from being added using the "Advanced" option?  Thank you.

Hi @bkidd ,

 

Could you please clear the data source permission to check again?

BTW, you can refer to this case.
