I am trying to develop a spring-boot based rest API service with API documentation through Swagger UI. I want to enable basic authentication via the swagger UI so that the user can only run the API's once he/she authenticates using the Authorize button on swagger UI (by which a "authorization: Basic XYZ header is added to the API Call
At the front end (in the .json file for the Swagger UI I have added basic authentication for all the APIs using the following code (as per the documentation):
"securityDefinitions": {"basic_auth": {"type": "basic" } },"security": [ {"basic_auth": [] } ]How should I implement the backend logic for the use case mentioned above (user can only run the API's once he/she authenticates using the Authorize button on swagger UI and it otherwise shows a 401 Error on running the API)
Some documentation or sample code for the same would be helpful
