I am trying to implement a POST method that will simply post the username and password to my Mongodb. However, before posting the credentials, it must connect to LDAP API to authenticate. The LDAP API has a header, Basic Authentication, and as an ADMIN I must provide a specific username and password to access that specific LDAP(different from user credentials). My question is I have searched and asked a lot, and I came to a conclusion that the proper method to do so is to use AXIOS for such HTTP request.

Unfortunately I have not found a solution to the following doubts:

1. How to pass the username and password(USER credentials) to the LDAP API to verify?


2. How to pass the LDAP API username and password to connect to the LDAP and have access to it.

These are the LDAP information that I need to establish the connection to the LDAP API -

****Content-Type: application/json Authorization: Basic 324t5yuj Basic Authentication Username : xyz Password : ***********

this is my post method for now
it is very simple

router.post('/user',function(req,res)
 //Before passing the follwoing username and pass, I must provide the LDAP API with its own password and username(this is where I am also stuck)
 //the username and password here are being taken from the user , these credentials are to be passed to the LDAP API to verify user
 user : req.body.username ,
 pass: req.body.password
 );
