### Authenticate on the API
The SonicWall API uses Basic Authentication, so you must encode the user and password as Base64 using the format `user:password`, and include it in the Authorization header:
Example:
```markup
user = admin
password = 12345
admin:12345 -> base64 encode -> YWRtaW46MTIzNDU=
Header:
Authorization: Basic YWRtaW46MTIzNDU=
```
