Answer 1

You need to set the uesrname and the password.

Something like this:

request.setValue("Basic \(base64Credentials)", forHTTPHeaderField: "Authorization")

and base64Credentials is the :

let credentials= String(format: "%@:%@", username, password)
let base64Credentials= credentials.data(using: String.Encoding.utf8)!
