Documentation for HTTP Basic Auth Feature¶ ↑

The HTTP basic auth feature allows logins using HTTP basic authentication, described in RFC 1945.

In your routing block, you can require HTTP basic authentication via:

rodauth.require_http_basic_auth

If you want to allow HTTP basic authentication but not require it, you can call:

rodauth.http_basic_auth

Auth Value Methods¶ ↑

http_basic_auth_realm	The realm to return in the WWW-Authenticate header.
require_http_basic_auth?	If true, when `rodauth.require_login` or `rodauth.require_authentication` is used, return a 401 status page if basic auth has not been provided, instead of redirecting to the login page. If false, `rodauth.require_login` or `rodauth.require_authentication` will check for HTTP basic authentication if not already logged in. False by default.
