Download tool API Authorization

HI all,

 

I am trying to connect to atlassian API via Alteryx and utilize DCM credentials/Data sources. I have collected API username and password and placed them in the DCM and set up that connection. Within the download tool -> Headers -> Authorization field I can't seem to give the right value. Things that I have tried that return either a 401 or 403 bad request / access denied error:

Authorization | "Basic " + {base64:{dcm:userName}:{dcm:password}}

Authorization | Basic {base64:{dcm:userName}:{dcm:password}}
Authorization | Basic {Base64:{dcm:userName}:{dcm:password}}

Authentication| Basic {base64:{dcm:userName}:{dcm:password}}

Authorization |  {base64:{dcm:userName}:{dcm:password}}

The 1 thing that I have done that did work is base64 encoding the value prior to putting in DCM and having the value be (this also proves I have the required permissions):
Authorization |  {dcm:userName}
This is less secure though because then the password can be seen by anyone as it is part of the userName field.

Anyone know of any solutions?
