Issue
- When I make remote headless API calls using basic auth to my Liferay SaaS environment, I get
403 Forbidden responses.
- How can I make remote headless API calls to a Liferay SaaS environment?
Resolution
- Basic auth is disabled in Liferay SaaS.
- To successfully make remote headless API calls, use another authentication method, such as OAuth 2.
