# Administering REST test step configurations

Set request and response payload sizes, filter request and response headers, and create basic auth profiles.

-   **[Create a basic auth profile using the Automated Test Framework](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/application-development/automated-test-framework-atf/atf-create-basic-auth-profile.md)**  
Create basic auth profiles to specify basic authentication credentials for Send Request - Inbound test steps.
-   **[Filter REST request and response headers](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/application-development/automated-test-framework-atf/atf-filter-rest-headers.md)**  
You can add a list of REST request and response headers that are not to be saved in step-result records. You can filter headers that might contain authentication credentials or other sensitive information. The phrase "Header redacted for security" is saved instead.
-   **[Automated Test Framework REST properties](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/application-development/automated-test-framework-atf/atf-rest-properties.md)**  
These properties are installed with ATF REST.
