"password": "password"
}
```

Since ThingsBoard IoT Gateway version 3.8.3, environment variables can be specified for username and password fields.
This allows you to avoid hardcoding sensitive information in the configuration file and provide it securely at runtime.

To use ENV variables for username and password, you can set them in your environment or define them in
your `docker-compose.yml` file.

The following ENV variables are used for Basic authentication configuration:

- `REQUEST_BASIC_USERNAME`
- `REQUEST_BASIC_PASSWORD`

Make attention that if you specify ENV variables for username and password, the values from the configuration file
will be ignored, and the connector will use the values from the ENV variables instead.
