Implementing Basic Auth

[#1]

Hello,

I asked a question before, but I think I am just confused about how to properly implement basic auth for my app.

I think I want to have the client enter their username and password when sending a request to my apigee proxy...this would get base64 encoded and written to the authorization header, then sent to my application for decoding and determination of access.

Is this the right way to go about doing this? If so, how do I prompt the client for username/password entering when they send a request to my apigee proxy?

Thanks

also, i might be confused because I think you need to authorize specific users via apigee BaaS before implementing auth...
