Basic Authentication with Alamofire

Question

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

You can try this code:

    let user = ***
    let password = ***
    let credentialData = "\(user):\(password)".dataUsingEncoding(NSUTF8StringEncoding)!
    let base64Credentials = credentialData.base64EncodedStringWithOptions([])
    let headers = ["Authorization": "Basic \(base64Credentials)"]

Alamofire.manager.request(.GET, stringURL,headers: headers, parameters: params as? [String : AnyObject])
        .responseJSON { response  in
            if (response.result.error == nil){
                success(data: response.result.value)
            }else{
                fail(error: response.result.error)
            }
    }
