    • Use the glide.basicauth.required.schema property to require basic authorization for all Inbound Table Schema Processor requests.

    If the glide.basicauth.required.schema system property is not set to the recommended value of true, then basic authorization is not required for all Inbound Table Schema Processor requests. The Inbound Table Schema Processor handles incoming schema requests for the platform.

    Ensure that the property glide.basicauth.required.schema exists in the System Properties [sys_properties] table and is set to true.

    Warning:
    This is a safe harbor property, meaning the value can't be altered once it's changed. It is non-revertible.
