It only adds the header when challenged for authentication by the server. If
you want to force it to add the header you need to use preemptive basic auth.
E.g.
given().auth().preemptive().basic("x", "y"). ..
or
RestAssured.authentication = preemptive().basic("x", "y"). ..
This will add the correct headers to the request even though the server has
never challenged.

preemptive and my determination, I was able to solve the problem.
