    • API gateway sending multiple requests

    in OCI - General

    Hi,

    We are using OCI API Gateway with Basic Authentication enabled. When a client makes a request without credentials, the API Gateway correctly returns a 401 Unauthorized status and the browser shows a login prompt.

    However, we are noticing the following issue:

    • After the initial 401 response, the request appears to be sent to the backend multiple times, even though the credentials are still missing.

    We would like to understand:

    1. Why is the API Gateway forwarding the request to the backend before validating the Basic Auth credentials?

    2. How can we configure the API Gateway to:

    • Stop forwarding unauthenticated requests to the backend.
