Digest Authentication implementation

    Hello All,

    Hope everyone is safe.

    I would like to check on, how we can implement Digest authentication with Layer7.

    Present we have a backend provider service which supports Digest Authentication credentials.
    So, From Front-end(postman), we will be sending a request to Layer7, then it will gets routed to backend. The Digest authentication will happened at backend.

    So, We tried to implement this in couple of ways.
    Using "Route Via Https" assertion, with an authorization header passing to backend.
    Using "Route Via Http/2" assertion, with authentication type as "Digest" and credentials included.

    But, its failing in both the cases with 401.

    Could someone help us here, on how we can achieve this.

    Note: If we access the backend provider service directly from postman(without Layer7 in b/w), its working fine with Digest authentication.

    Thanks
    Mustaq
