Apache Camel v2.12 | CXF Component | Basic Authentication | Web Service

Respected Camel Experts,

I am trying to access a web service that requires basic authentication. I am able to access using the CXF's JaxWsDynamicClientFactory. The code piece for auth looks like:

           JaxWsDynamicClientFactory dcf = JaxWsDynamicClientFactory.newInstance();
           Client client = dcf.createClient(ID_WSDL);
          
           HTTPConduit conduit= (HTTPConduit) client.getConduit();
           AuthorizationPolicy authorization =  conduit.getAuthorization();
           authorization.setUserName(USERNAME);
           authorization.setPassword(PWD);
          
           conduit.setAuthorization(authorization);

 However, when I try to use Camel's CXF component to access the same Web Service I get 401 Unauthorized error, since Camel is not sending the authentication information to the Web Service.

My route looks like:

    from("file://c:/test?fileName=request.txt&noop=true").routeId("myrouteId")
    .process(processor)
    .to(cxf)
    .to("log:{body}");

In my processor, I am setting the credentials as follows:

Map<String, Object> properties = new HashMap<String, Object>();

        AuthorizationPolicy authPolicy = new AuthorizationPolicy();
        authPolicy.setAuthorizationType(HttpAuthHeader.AUTH_TYPE_BASIC);
        authPolicy.setUserName(USERNAME);
        authPolicy.setPassword(PWD);
       
        properties.put("org.apache.cxf.configuration.security.AuthorizationPolicy", authPolicy);
        myEndpoint.setProperties(properties);

myEndpoint is CXFEndpoint, retrieved from Exchange.

Am I missing something or something wrong here.
