I have a managed package with some apex code that makes a callout to a named credential. The named credential uses a username and password. This gets send in a header in the callout request as an authorization header and base64 encoded "username:password".

Testing this in my org works fine but when including the named credential in a managed package and installing to another org, the named credential works but the header comes through with a missing password: "username:*".

Why is this happening?

Since 2015 you have to add your named credentials again after installation. See Release Notes Spring 2015

After installation from a managed or unmanaged package, the subscriber must reauthenticate to the external system:

  • For password authentication, the subscriber must re-enter the password in the named credential definition.
