Need to send header with Basic Auth
Hello ladies and gentlemen! I'm new to Swagger when it comes to implementing it for my own api:s. Today I have gone from being a complete fool to just being dumb. 🙂 I managed to make the "Try it out" button actually appear. It took me about two hours to finally find information on why it was not visible in my project. Then I managed to also make the Authorize button to show up. And I can select the authorization method and input my user id and password. But. (there's always a but right?) It does not seem as if the Basic Auth is sent in the header. I have tried every single suggestion I have found after Googling and consulting ChatGPT. Nothing seems to get me any closer to a solution. It's so easy to use Postman to send the queries to the same api, but with Swagger I have unfortunately hit the wall too many times, so I consult you guys. The crème de la crème of Swaggerians... what am I missing? I have this in my Startup.cs - did I mention that this is an ASP.Net Core 3.1 Web Api? And that I'm using the latest stable versions of everything that has to do with Swagger. options.AddSecurityDefinition("Basic", new OpenApiSecurityScheme { Type = SecuritySchemeType.Http, Scheme = "basic", In = ParameterLocation.Header, Name = "Authorization", Description = "Basic Authorization header." }); options.OperationFilter<SecurityRequirementsOperationFilter>(); Where on earth I got that piece of probably old code? From ChatGPT. Not to be trusted. I know. By the way, I must mention that I don't know the first thing about which label to choose for this post. I'll go with Swagger Core and Swagger UI, but maybe both are wrong. Sorry about that. I guess you need more information - just tell me, and I'll provide all details needed. Best regards, GeorgeSolved
