Authenticate users by an [HTTP Basic access authentication][BasicAuth_0] call.
|
||||
HTTP server of your choice to authenticate. It should return HTTP 2xx for correct credentials and an appropriate other error code for wrong ones or refused access.
|
||||
The HTTP server _must_ respond to any requests to the target URL with the "www-authenticate" header set.
|
||||
Otherwise BasicAuth considers itself to be misconfigured or the HTTP server unfit for authentication.
|
||||
|
||||
### Configuration
|
||||
The only supported parameter is the URL of the web server where the authentication happens.
