Hey Jason0x43,

I haven't been able to find a way to connect to a Redmine Instance that is behind Basic HTTP Auth. I was wondering if there way any undocumented way to do this. I tried to connect using user:[email protected] but it errors out when with a message saying that it was unable to connect to the host.

If this isn't currently supported and you are open to adding this, I'd be willing to add this and sent a pull request.

Just to clarify, you're interested in Basic Auth that's separate from Redmine's own Basic Auth (which is just an alternative to using an API key)?

Yep. The HTTP Basic Auth, not Redmine's Basic Auth.

Hmmm...ok. Redmine supports HTTP Basic Auth, and there's some allowance for using it in the workflow, but just enough to figure out the user's API key (because ideally the workflow shouldn't store a username and password). I'll need to add something to support a completely separate set of basic auth credentials, and preferably to store them in the keychain.

Hey Jason. I meant as in a password protected reverse proxy using a web server (eg Apache).

Yeah, that's why it needs to support separate (non-Redmine) credentials.

Totally doable.
