Question

Experiencing an issue when authenticating with Basic Auth. I am using a standard enum that conforms to URLRequestConvertible protocol to construct my requests.

In swift 3.0

Use following code -

    let user = ***
    let password = ***
    let credentialData = "\(user):\(password)".data(using: String.Encoding.utf8)!
    let base64Credentials = credentialData.base64EncodedString(options: [])
    let headers = ["Authorization": "Basic \(base64Credentials)"]

    Alamofire.request(customerURL,
                      method: .get,
                      parameters: nil,
                      encoding: URLEncoding.default,
                      headers:headers)
        .validate()
        .responseJSON { response in
            if response.result.value != nil{                    
               print(response)
            }else{

            }
    }
