# Authorize Workday

`POST /workdays/{workday_id}/auth`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://console.jumpcloud.com/api/v2`
- URL: `https://console.jumpcloud.com/api/v2/workdays/{workday_id}/auth`
- Auth: API key in header `x-api-key`
- TypeScript: <https://skmtc.dev/jumpcloud/apis/jumpcloud-api-2/docs/workdays/:workday_id/auth/post.ts> (a function with typed inputs; its response is checked against the schema)

This endpoint adds an authorization method to a workday instance.

You must supply a username and password for `Basic Authentication` that is the same as your WorkDay Integrator System User.  Failure to provide these credentials  will result in the request being rejected.

Currently `O-Auth` isn't a supported authentication protocol for WorkDay, but will be in the future.

#### Sample Request

```
curl -X POST https://console.jumpcloud.com/api/v2/workdays/{WorkDayID}/auth \
  -H 'Accept: application/json' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H 'x-api-key: {API_KEY}' \
  -d '{
	"auth":{
	  "basic": {
		"username": "someDeveloper",	  
		"password": "notTheRealPassword"

	  }
	}
}'

```
