Basic To Bearer

Authenticate by using Basic Credentials to retrieve an Access Token

Overview

Basic To Bearer is an authorization flow where Basic credentials are traded for an access token. In this flow, the Aisera platform makes an API request using the Authorization header containing the username and password. This request will return an Access Token that can be used to access your third-party application.
