    • Use the glide.basicauth.required.api property to enhance security for basic authorization for incoming REST requests.

    Set the glide.basicauth.required.api property to true to require authorization for all REST requests. Set the property to false to bypass authorization for all REST requests.
    Warning:
    This is a safe harbor property, meaning the value can't be altered once it's changed. It is non-revertible.
