You use the HTTP Authorization request header to provide the authentication token for a request. The value of this header is AD followed by the authentication token, in this format:
Authorization: AD authentication-token
For example, here’s the Authorization header for a user named lgreen and password p4ssw0rd:
Authorization: AD lgreen@example.com:p4sswOrd
Specifying the Authorization header with cURL
With cURL, you use the -H option to specify a header, like this:
curl -H "Authorization: AD lgreen@example.com:p4sswOrd"
Specifying the Authorization header in Python with PycURL
In Python with PycURL, you use the HTTPHEADER option to specify a header, as in this example:
curl.setopt(pycurl.HTTPHEADER, ["Authorization: AD
lgreen@example.com:p4sswOrd"])
