I am trying to implement node authentication

// I am an example of JS code

Server.js code:

const fs = require('fs'); const path = require('path'); const url = require('url'); var httpServer = require('http'); const auth = require("http-auth"); const basic = auth.basic( { realm: "Private Area", file: __dirname + "/htpasswd", }); ... ... function serverHandler(request, response) {

console.log("dirname = ", __dirname); //console.log(user = ${basic.file} + ${user});

basic.check(request, response => {
        response.end(`Welcome to private area, ${basic.file} + ${username}`);

});

I know I'm missing something....but what?

Thanks,

Ray

Can you share what happens when you run that code?

Ironically, absolutely nothing happens! The node server just goes on it's merry way and gets and displays the webpage.

Could you maybe share your full code in that case? What webpage is being displayed?

I am actually testing another method from https://www.dotnetcurry.com/nodejs/1237/digest-authentication-nodejs-application I have it working but still need to figure out how to differentiate two classes of users.

Actually it works for md5 but I can't get it to work for sha256?
