Authentication
The API Methods require authorization, which is performed using HTTP Basic authentication. The username and
password are not passed in the XML request, however, they are part of the HTTP call. If the authentication is
unsuccessful, the 401 Unauthorized http error message appears. The Dell Networking W-ClearPass Policy Manager
Administrator credentials must be used for authentication. If the administrator does not have the permissions to perform
the read, write, and delete operations, the 401 Unauthorized http error message appears.
