How to provide basic authentication in spring boot YAML file for External Task Camunda engine URL?

Camunda 7 Topics Discussion & Questions

I have followed Spring Boot Starter for the External Task Client | Camunda to configure external task for the topic, I am getting:
POST http://localhost:8080/rest/engine/default/external-task/fetchAndLock HTTP/1.1’ returned error: status code ‘401’ - message: status code: 401

Camunda engine has enabled basic authentication,SO i am not sure what should i provide in YAML file to access the URL:

Here is a snippet from my application.yaml file

camunda.bpm.client:
base-url: http://localhost:8080/rest/engine/default # the URL pointing to the Camunda Platform Runtime REST API
lock-duration: 10000 # defines how many milliseconds the External Tasks are locked until they can be fetched again
subscriptions:
load-data: # topic name of the External Service Task
process-definition-key: postifpayplus_main # only filter for External Tasks with this process definition key

If you’ve downloaded the most recent distro of Camunda the default base url should be
http://localhost:8080/engine-rest/

There are few customizations done in my application to override the default URL.
I am able to Call all Rest APIs from JAVA classes after providing basic authentication.

I am not sure how should i provide the basic authentication for External task configuration in YAML file.

You can add this to your application.yaml

camunda.bpm.client:
  basic-auth:
    username: "demo"
    password: "demo"
