Contao Crawler Authenticator
============================

[](#contao-crawler-authenticator)

Allows the Contao Crawler to be logged in as a front end member via Basic Authentication in order to index protected pages.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

1. Install the extension (zero configuration necessary in the Contao Managed Edition).
2. Create a front end member specifically for the Contao Crawler or re-use an existing one where you know the password.
3. Assign the member to the appropriate member groups.
4. Now choose one of the following options (replace `` and `` with the member's credentials):
    - Pass the member's username and password for every `contao:crawl` execution: ```
        CRAWLER_AUTH=: vendor/bin/contao-console contao:crawl --subscribers=search-index --max-depth=3

        ```
    - Define the member's username and password in the `.env.local`: ```
        # .env.local
        CRAWLER_AUTH=:
        ```

        These will then get used automatically every time you execute `contao:crawl` (unless overridden by the former command). Make sure you also have a `.env` file, otherwise the `.env.local` will not be loaded of course.

*Note:* be aware that the member's password will be put *unencrypted* into the bash history in the former case and into the `.env.local` in the latter case.
