Unable to connect to druid with basic authentication enabled

[playsimple]

I am unable to connect to our internally hosted druid server which has a basic authentication implemented. Seeing the following error

Settings load timeout (800ms) hit, continuing
Failed to connect to cluster ‘druid’ because: 401 - {“error”:“Unauthorized request”,“errorMessage”:null,“errorClass”:null,“host”:“d7059c4ddb2c”} (will retry in 1ms)
Re-attempting to connect to cluster ‘druid’ (retry 1)

I am trying to connect using the following command

npm run start:dev -- --druid http://druid_system:password2@<ip>:8082/

This is how the configuration looks like for our druid deployment

You should use request decorator for passing Basic Auth headers. Look at the example

Reopen if request decorator is not sufficient for you.
