Authorizations

AuthorizationstringRequired

You will need to base64 encode the string containing your credentials.

Note:

• Basic Authentication is supported only when 2-Factor Authentication is not configured.
• Users with 2-Factor Authentication activated must generate new 2FA-secured tokens in the DCD using [Token Manager](https://docs.ionos.com/cloud/set-up-ionos-cloud/management/identity-access-management/token-manager). These tokens do not inherit the 2FA-secured property by default.
• Token deletion is only possible using the Token Manager.

Separate your username and password with a colon, i.e., username:password and send it as 'Authorization' request header. More details: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_access_authentication
