README

Allows users to manage Basic Authentication credentials for multiple hostnames and environments.

Requirements

• October CMS ^2.0
• PHP 8.0.2 or higher

Installation

composer require vdlp/oc-basicauthentication-plugin

Configuration

To configure this plugin execute the following command:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Vdlp\BasicAuthentication\ServiceProviders\BasicAuthenticationServiceProvider" --tag="config"

This will create a config/basicauthentication.php file in your app where you can modify the configuration if you don't want to use .env variables.

Enable / disable plugin

By default basic authentication is disabled.

To enable basic authentication, you have to set the env variable to BASIC_AUTHENTICATION_ENABLED to true in your .env file or edit the published config file.

A Note On FastCGI

If you are using PHP FastCGI, HTTP Basic authentication may not work correctly out of the box. The following lines should be added to your .htaccess file:

RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} ^(.+)$
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
