var USER = "username";
var PASSWORD = "password";
var auth = btoa(USER+":"+PASSWORD);

$.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    url: "https://example.com/qcbin/api/authentication/sign-in",
    
    headers: {
        "Authorization": "Basic " + auth
    },

Assuming that the REST ALM API is enabled (this is not in all cases), then you should be able to see the error that is coming back.

In previous versions I am using of QC ALM REST API, I used a different url to connect to REST interface:

POST QC_Server/qcbin/authentication-point/authenticate headers

I think the address used may be wrong (you can try it out). Then I think the "btoa" command will create the base64 encoding of the all together "username:password".

Last but not least the headers may need something like "Content-Type":"application/json" or "Content-Type":"application/xml"

Hope this can help a bit. Have a nice day!
