ioBroker
Add HTTP Basic Auth support
Please add support for HTTP Basic authentication. Just extract the user information from the auth header for validation.
@mesche hm ... with SSL it could be ... but still think about most do it home-network ...
Correct... but when I use the API with other systems (like Grafana for example), then I have to store the password in plain text. --> not quite ideal ;-)
but thank your for your support and the development .. great work
@mesche How do you connect grafana with iobroker when auth is activated? i am trying with the grafana json plugin and iobroker simple api. it is working without auth activated, but when i activate it shows bad request. i can get value directly via url, so simple api is working. can you share your settings? many thanks and have a nice day

Not at all! That's why I hope that the simple-api adapter supports this function soon.
Currently I have 2 instances of the simple-api adapter running. For Grafana without auth and only with read permissions of the data points
Ahhh now i understand you. Allright, your workaround with 2 instances is great. I will do one just for read and only available between the dockers containers. and the other one with auth and extra port.
i hope it can be added so that this workaround is not needed any more and simple-api gets better :)
