Authorization Types

Functional Testing supports several types of authorization

No Auth

Use this option to explicitly remove the assigned authentication type for a request.

  • No credentials are sent.

  • Useful for public endpoints or when authentication is handled elsewhere.

Bearer Token

Use a bearer token (such as a JWT) to authenticate requests. Tokens are masked where appropriate.

  • The token is sent in the Authorization header.

  • Format: Authorization: Bearer <token>

Basic Auth

Use a username and password combination.

  • Credentials are encoded and sent in the Authorization header.

  • Format: Authorization: Basic <base64(username:password)>
