Authorization tag in http header

Question

While making an end point call using the webservice control the authorization tag is getting added to the http header. This is causing 401 errors when going over SSL . We are adding the credentials as part of the SOAP header.
Why / How is the Authorization Basic tag getting created? Also how can we eliminate it?
****************** tcpmon output shown below
POST /DMIntegration/ContentService HTTP/1.1
User-Agent: BEA WebLogic Server 10.3.0.0
Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8
SOAPAction: ""

Hi,
The Authorization group can be created as follows
Transaction SE54 >Select 'Authorization Groups'>Create/Change-->New Entries.
Now the authorization group created can be assigned to your table.
Goto transaction 'SE56' and select authorization group radio button and create your authorization group.
In general different users will be given different authorizations based on their role in the orgn.
We create ROLES and assign the Authorization and TCODES for that role, so only that user can have access to those T Codes.
USe SUIM and SU21 T codes for this.
USE
Much of the data in an R/3 system has to be protected so that unauthorized users cannot access it. Therefore the appropriate authorization is required before a user can carry out certain actions in the system. When you log on to the R/3 system, the system checks in the user master record to see which transactions you are authorized to use. An authorization check is implemented.check Su22 and SU24u will get list of objects
Hope clear to you.
