spring cloud data flow http source client pass credentials

Question

I have a working application where i get data from a rest end point and dump this to sybase db. Now i am trying to convert this to spring cloud data flow and defined http as the source and jdbc as the sink. The http end point where my source points to is protected so i need to pass the credentials . I looked at the documentation and the allowed params for http source are below .Does this means source has to be an endpoint ?If not how i can achieve the same?

The http source supports the following configuration properties:

http.cors.allow-credentials
Whether the browser should include any cookies associated with the domain of the request being annotated. (Boolean, default: <none>)
http.cors.allowed-headers
List of request headers that can be used during the actual request. (String[], default: <none>)
http.cors.allowed-origins
List of allowed origins, e.g. "http://domain1.com". (String[], default: <none>)
http.mapped-request-headers
Headers that will be mapped. (String[], default: <none>)
http.path-pattern
An Ant-Style pattern to determine which http requests will be captured. (String, default: /)
server.port
Server HTTP port. (Integer, default: 8080)
