Vdlp.BasicAuthentication
========================

[](#vdlpbasicauthentication)

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

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- October CMS ^2.0
- PHP 8.0.2 or higher

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require vdlp/oc-basicauthentication-plugin

```

Configuration
-------------

[](#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
-----------------------

[](#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
-----------------

[](#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}]

```
