Basic Authentication Not Available for Download Tool

[adam_rafael_18]

Hi, I recently upgraded my Alteryx to 2024.2 and in the new version, I do not see Username/Password option in the connection pane of the download tool - is there a way to add this back in?

[apathetichell]

formula tool -> username:password

base64 tool -> encode value from above  (only send in one row).

formula tool -> "Basic "+value from base64 tool.

in Download tool:

create an authorization header and put that value there.

Hi @adam_rafael_18 

I'm on version 2024.2 and have the basic auth options. 

I think your user settings will be set to DCM Only, rather than DCM optional/default which is going to hide those values behind the DCM setup of the download tool.

Does that help?
