          To encode the credentials:

          1. Concatenate the url encoded client id and secret with a colon (`:`) in between: `clientid:client_secret`

          2. Encode the result with Base64: `base64(clientid:client_secret)`

          3. Include the result in the `Authorization` header prefixed with `Basic `.
