Last updated on AUGUST 19, 2022

Applies to:

Oracle API Gateway - Version 11.1.2.1.0 and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Symptoms

In OAG 11.1.2.x, a policy has been set up which contains a HTTP Basic Authentication filter.  When using the policy to communicate to a service, for every request a message;  401 "Authentication Required" is seen in the trace log, followed by a " 200 ok " message.

The flow is:
client - > OAG -> service -> OAG -> service

Even though the 401 error is seen, the request still executes and provides the expected results.
