Can Authentication Details be added to a Windows Azure Scheduler Job?

Question

I'm going to be creating a Windows Azure Scheduler Job that will make a RESTful POST call to a resource on interval. This part is easy, except the fact that the URI is secured and requires Basic Authentication credentials.

Using the Azure Management Portal (or see via: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn495651.aspx) I don't see anywhere to add Basic Authentication credentials or even custom header values.

Is it possible to add credentials to a configured Azure Scheduled Job HTTP/HTTPS call, or will the scheduler not handle this ability?

Answer 1

It does support Basic Auth. After creation navigate to the "jobs", click on the job that you want add basic auth. There are 2 text boxes to enter username and password.
