PDF password is not working

[skkasi]

ViewasPDF password is set but not prompting while opening the file.

var report = new ViewAsPdf("Demoviewpdf", customerList) {
Password = "123456" }

Password option is for passing Basic HTTP authentication, not for protecting the generated PDF with a password. If the HTML you want to transform to a PDF is protected with Basic HTTP authentication, then you can use Username and Password options to pass the authentication. The result is a PDF without password. See the description here.

Wkhtmltopdf (which Rotativa uses for generating the PDF) doesn't support password protecting PDFs.
