How to use Set HTTP-Basic Authentication?

Open Supergamer1337 opened this issue 2 years ago • 10 comments

Describe your question/ So I'm trying to figure out what the Set HTTP-Basic Authentication does. It does not seem to put up a basic auth endpoint, as I previously thought. Neither does it seem to pass those headers on to the application (as i still get the pop-up after authenticating through authentik) so what does it do and how do you use it?

Relevant infos Running Traefik 2.9 as reverse proxy.

Version and Deployment (please complete the following information):

  • authentik version: 2022.12.2
  • Deployment: docker-compose

Additional context I've tried to use it to setup basic-auth for an endpoint that needed it, Calibre webserver /opds, as well as to bypass basic auth on Prowlarr. Both of these have not worked. What is the problem here?
