When authenticating a RESTCONF API session with a router running Cisco IOS XE software, basic authentication is commonly used. Basic authentication involves sending the username and password in the HTTP header encoded in base64 format. This method is straightforward and widely supported, though it is less secure compared to token-based authentication and should be used with HTTPS to ensure the credentials are encrypted in transit.
