Allows users to manage Basic Authentication credentials for multiple hostnames and environments.

• October CMS ^2.0
• PHP 8.0.2 or higher

composer require vdlp/oc-basicauthentication-plugin

To configure this plugin execute the following command:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Vdlp\BasicAuthentication\ServiceProviders\BasicAuthenticationServiceProvider" --tag="config"

This will create a config/basicauthentication.php file in your app where you can modify the configuration if you don't want to use .env variables.

By default basic authentication is disabled.

To enable basic authentication, you have to set the env variable to BASIC_AUTHENTICATION_ENABLED to true in your .env file or edit the published config file.

If you are using PHP FastCGI, HTTP Basic authentication may not work correctly out of the box. The following lines should be added to your .htaccess file:

RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} ^(.+)$
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
