Frontend web server authentication #897

Closed anyonebutme closed 4 years ago

anyonebutme commented 7 years ago

I have partkeepr v1.3.0 setup with HTTPBasic authentication with apache2 running as the frontend web server. If I enable authentication in apache, partkeepr doesn't accept username/password. I tried enabling auto login with username/password thinking that might solve it but that doesn't work either (auto login works fine if I disable the authentication in apache).

I would like the frontend web server to take care of authentication instead of partkeepr. But partkeepr doesn't seem to allow for that.

When you select HTTPBasic authentication, you don't have to configure your authentication in Apache. PartKeepr handles that for you. Right now, you cannot have other external authentication methods.
