Hello experts,

I'm having the same issue as:

https://community.servicenow.com/community?id=community_question&sys_id=29658baddbd8dbc01dcaf3231f96...

but I didn't understand where I need to use this code in order to create an Authorization header: 

var username = "my_username";

var password = "my_password";

encodedAuth = GlideStringUtil.base64Encode(username + ':' + password);

gs.print("BASIC " +encodedAuth);

can someone please guide me?

Thanks,

Tomer.

in outbound rest , you can set up basic auth profile with username and password where u can key in you no need to encode then
