REST API Batch Processes - 401 Unauthorized (User is not authenticated in expected context)

Question

I am trying to list batch processes using the Intershop REST API (https://support.intershop.com/kb/index.php/Display/2500N0):

GET http://localhost/INTERSHOP/rest/BOS/inSPIRED-Site/inTRONICS/batchprocesses/productimports

I use basic authentication with user 'admin', but still get: 401 Unauthorized (User is not authenticated in expected context)

What am I missing?

The mentioned REST API call is part of the Intershop Backoffice REST API. It is configured to work only via HTTPS protocol. (See app_bo_catalog PrefixREST-Start pipeline). When used with HTTP protocol an error message is returned. Try to access the REST call via HTTPS.
