APIM-cli import breaks feAPIs with basic auth w/out password

[emmanuel-galindo]

APIM-CLI version

1.14.2

API-Management version

7.7.3

Bug description

For a feAPI that has an outbound backend servier with BASIC auth, and only username defined and password is empty, "apim api get" retrieves:
" [...]
"authenticationProfiles" : [ {
"name" : "_default",
"isDefault" : true,
"parameters" : {
"username" : "user",
"id" : 0
},
[...]"
Doing an import with this, breaks the feAPI and user gets 500. Exception in logs reads:
"
[...]
nested fault: no password specified
java.lang.NullPointerException: no password specified
at com.vordel.dwe.http.ClientTransaction.basicAuthString(Native Method)
at com.vordel.circuit.net.BasicAuthNConnectionHandler$BasicState.getAuthToken(BasicAuthNConnectionHandler.java:152)
at com.vordel.circuit.net.BasicAuthNConnectionHandler$BasicState.expectContinue(BasicAuthNConnectionHandler.java:191)
[...]"

When setting this basic (user with no password) via API Manager UI, the PUT request body reads as:
" [...]
"authenticationProfiles": [
{
"name": "_default",
"isDefault": true,
"parameters": {
"username": "username",
"id": 0,
"password": ""
},
"type": "http_basic"
}
[...]"

@rathnapandi this is fixed in 1.14.4 right?

Hi @emmanuel-galindo, Can you test it with latest relelase?

I am having this issue with 1.14.9 yet.

Actually, my issue may be different. The password in the file is not getting set at all and it is wiping out the existing one. I will have to test without a password to see if that also breaks it.

Ok, after testing it appears that a blank password does not break it, but setting the password in the api config file does not work.
