  Hi Udayan,

  Can you please be a bit more specific?

  Perhaps let us know what calls your trying to make, how your trying to authenticate?

  Can you post a snippet?

  Thanks,

  Jordan.

  Hi Jordan,

  I am trying to post request like below.

  restUrl = new URL("https://xxx.hosted.xmatters.com/reapi/2015-04-01/forms/1193c423-6165-6cbc-5e14-55ceb83f08fd/triggers");

  byte[] message ="username:password".getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
  String encoding = "Basic " + Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString(message);

  HttpURLConnection httpConnection = (HttpURLConnection)restUrl.openConnection();
  httpConnection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/json");
  httpConnection.setRequestMethod("POST");
  httpConnection.setRequestProperty("Accept", "application/json");

  httpConnection.setRequestProperty("Authorization", encoding);

  
  Its not being authenticated. If I use http instead of https, its giving response code 302

  Hi Udayan  - I ran your original question by our awesome client assistance team. They think they might know the issue, but don't want to guess. Please file a support ticket and client assistance will take good care of you.

  Hi Udayan,

  Iain here from the xMatters Product Management team.

  An HTTP 302 response code indicates that a redirect exists on the URL you are trying to hit. Our API is secured by HTTPS/SSL so that could explain why you are getting a 302 when you POST to the endpoint using HTTP.

  I think the real issue to solve here is why the basic authentication is failing when you hit the HTTPS endpoint.

  What's the response you get when you hit the URL using HTTPS?
