Authorization in Katalon Studio

APIs use authorization to make sure that client requests access data securely. Authorization involves authenticating and confirming that the sender of a request have the permission to access or manipulate the relevant data.

You can add your authorization information the Authorization tab of a Web Service Request.

Starting version 10.4.0, Katalon Studio features API collections for bulk-management of authorization. Instead of having to adjust each API request, you can simply add requests to a collection and adjust once. See API Collections for bulk managing authorization for more details.

The following types of authorizations are supported in Katalon Studio:

• AWS Signature
• Bearer
• Basic
• Digest
• OAuth 1.0
• OAuth 2.0
• NTLM

To use current authentication information, make sure that you click on Update to HTTP Header. Katalon Studio appends these information to the HTTP Header of the web service request.
