HTTP outbound with basic authentication

Thanks everyone for replying !! The username and password on the connector is for when you want to secure your inbound endpoint with HTTP basic authentication.

When calling a external services that is secured with basic auth you should use the uri method

You should set the Basic Authentication value as a Header Property in to the outgoing Mule Message when you are consuming a REST service via the Mule HTTP outbound endpoint.

<flow name="consume_rest">
    .............
    ..........
    <set-property propertyName="Authorization" value="Basic Authorization String combination of Username and password" />
    <http:outbound-endpoint exchange-pattern="request-response" method="POST" responseTimeout="20000"
        host="localhost" path="rest.path" port="Port number" />
    .............
    .............
</flow>

Hope this helps.

The following is an example of REST Service with Basic Authentication :-

  <mule-ss:security-manager>
        <mule-ss:delegate-security-provider name="memory-provider" delegate-ref="authenticationManager" />
    </mule-ss:security-manager>
    <spring:beans>
        <ss:authentication-manager alias="authenticationManager">
            <ss:authentication-provider>
                <ss:user-service id="userService">
                    <ss:user name="your username" password="your password" authorities="ROLE_ADMIN" />
                     <ss:user name="your username2" password="your password2" authorities="ROLE_USER" />
                </ss:user-service>
            </ss:authentication-provider>
        </ss:authentication-manager>    
    </spring:beans>

    <flow name="MainService" doc:name="MainService">
        <http:inbound-endpoint exchange-pattern="request-response" host="localhost" port="8082" doc:name="HTTP">
           <mule-ss:http-security-filter realm="realm" />
           <mule-ss:authorization-filter requiredAuthorities="ROLE_ADMIN"/>  <!-- Restrict a particular group of users -->
        </http:inbound-endpoint>
        <jersey:resources doc:name="REST">
        <component class="com.test.services.schema.maindata.v1.Impl.MainDataImpl"/>
        </jersey:resources>
    </flow>

And for connecting an existing external REST Service from Mule use:- http://username:password@host/yourpath in http outbound endpoint
