Authentication Details Not Provided REST API POST Request

I'm posting to an API server and I'm getting the following reply:

Server Response: {"detail":"Authentication credentials were not provided."}

I'm writing the requests in Java and I'm not sure exactly why it's saying credentials were not provided.

Here is a snippet of my code:

 hconn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/json");
 hconn.setRequestProperty( "Accept", "application/json" );
 if( urlconn instanceof HttpsURLConnection )
 {
    String encoded = new String(Base64.getEncoder().encode( ( username + ":" + password).getBytes()));
    String auth = "Basic " + encoded;
    urlconn.setRequestProperty("Encoded Authorization", auth );

 }

Where hconn is of type HttpURLConnection

This is the only relvant snippet that you guys need. Are there properties i'm missing to set here?

I know the server response is from a Django framework but the documentation is not clear on spotting what IS required to prevent this.

Any help appreciated.

Authorization is the correct request header name and not 'Encoded Authorization'. So, you should set

urlConn.setRequestProperty("Authorization", auth);
