In previous tutorial we had implemented — Angular 7 + Spring Boot Login Example. We had also created a menu with links to pages.
In previous example we had implemented hardcoded username and password using the angular code for login. In this tutorial we will be implementing Basic Authentication using Spring Boot. All the REST calls made from Angular to Spring Boot will be authenticated using Basic Authentication. Basic authentication is a simple authentication scheme built using the HTTP protocol. When using this protocol the HTTP requests have Authorization header which has the word Basic followed by a space and base 64 encoded string username:password

.

In a previous tutorial we had implemented Spring Boot + Basic Authentication Example.
Also in this tutorial the angular code though functional is not optimized. There is lot of repetition of the Basic Authentication code for adding header. We will be optimizing this code using the HTTPInterceptors in the next tutorial.
