SolarWinds REST API authentication

Hi guys,

As security is a priority for SolarWinds, what about providing a stronger authentication to use REST API rather than Basic Auth (user:password in base64) ?

In my company, SolarWinds API is behind an API management platform with OAuth2 authentication (to avoid direct connections from users), but between this APIM and SolarWinds API, we have to add Basic Auth into the Header to authenticate into SolarWinds platform (= solarwinds local user)

Security team is about to cut off our API because of that lack in security.
