Safari password manager does not recognise the authentication method. #337

It would be nice if the safari password manager would be usable with the authentication method. At the moment we always have so manually select the password. This is probably related to the method the password is requested.

The Basic Access Authentication is a well-known standard HTTP method. The fact that it is not working on a specific browser is really related to Monitorix?

bachandi commented 3 years ago

True. After some reading it basically boils down to Safari (didn't check other browser) not supporting autofill for basic authentication. The switch to a form based authentication is probably a bit to much. Although it would allow us to "logout" from monitorix which is not possible at the moment.

IIRC, the concept of logout does not exist in Basic Authentication, you just need to point your browser to somewhere in the same host where you don't have access. Also, just closing the browser is enough to lose the access credentials.
