Unable to access jsonws API over Liferay PaaS

Note: please note that Liferay has renamed its Liferay Experience Could offerings to Liferay SaaS (formerly LXC) and Liferay PaaS (formerly LXC-SM).

Issue

User gets below error while trying to access jsonws API over Liferay PaaS with Basic Auth enabled at Webserver level:
```
"error": {
"message": "Access denied to xxxx",
"type": "java.lang.SecurityException"
} 
```

Environment

Liferay DXP 7.0
Liferay DXP 7.1
Liferay DXP 7.2
Liferay DXP 7.3

Resolution

User needs to remove Basic Auth from Webserver level.
In order to remove it, user needs to navigate at webserver/configs/{env}/conf.d/liferay.conf in the git repository and comment out the lines with the auth_basic prefix.

Example :

#auth_basic "Authentication Required";
#auth_basic_user_file /var/www/html/.htpasswd;

Additional Information

Liferay provides Basic Auth at nginx level so the standard test@liferay.com credentials will be user's Liferay admin account. The Basic Auth prevents someone with knowledge of the default Liferay credentials from discovering the non-prod environments and logging in as an administrator to wreak a little havoc.
Once user logged into Liferay for the first time, Admin credentials should be modified and Basic Auth should then be removed from the nginx level.
