SAP UI5 Application to Pass User ID on headers to external API through destination

[vinoth_sukumar]

Hi,

I'm looking to call an external API from a UI5 application in BTP and the requirement is to pass the user ID to the headers/query parameters or body of the API.

But, we need to make this user ID being passed without being visible in the console of the browser.

API works based on basic authentication which is configured on the destination.

Is there a way to achieve this?

I'm wondering if any additional properties in the destination could help to pass the user Id or email to the API, that way front-end app or the browser won't know about the details.

Please share.

Thanks,

Vinoth

Are you using standalone or managed approuter to serve the application?
