basic-authentication

I have a webpage that is only accessible over http basic auth. How can I figure out the basic auth username in javascript in that page. i.e. when someone visits it (after logging in), I want to make a popup that says "Hello, you're currently signed in as the user $USERNAME" It's not possible purely from JavaScript. You'd have to have the server side script pick up the username from the request, and insert it in the generated page code for the script to pick up. (eg. <script type="text/javascript">var username= (insert JSON-encoded string here) ;</script> . javascript:window.alert(document

I was wondering if it was possible to setup a conditional http basic auth requirement based on the virtual host URL in an .htaccess file. For example what I want to do is have mysite.com and test.mysite.com run off the same code base in the same directory but password protect test.mysite.com. It would be setup this way so that I wouldn't need to branch my code since my app code can see which vhost/url it's being served from and pick the database to serve content from. You can sort of kludge this by using mod_setenvif along with the mod_auth modules. Use the SetEnvIfNoCase directive to set

Question How can I implement Basic Authentication with Custom Membership in an ASP.NET Core web application? Notes In MVC 5 I was using the instructions in this article which requires adding a module in the WebConfig . I am still deploying my new MVC Core application on IIS but this approach seems not working. I also do not want to use the IIS built in support for Basic authentication , since it uses the Windows credentials. ASP.NET Security will not include Basic Authentication middleware due to its potential insecurity and performance problems. If you require Basic Authentication middleware

I have an ASP MVC3 restful service that uses basic authentication. After searching stack overflow, I created the following code. public class BasicAuthentication : ActionFilterAttribute { public override void OnActionExecuting(ActionExecutingContext filterContext) { var req = filterContext.HttpContext.Request; if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(req.Headers["Authorization"])) { filterContext.Result = new HttpNotFoundResult(); } else { var credentials = System.Text.ASCIIEncoding.ASCII .GetString(Convert.FromBase64String(req.Headers["Authorization"].Substring(6))) .Split(':'); var user = new { Name =

I'm trying to write a simple smoke test for a web application. The application normally uses form based authentication, but accepts basic auth as well, but since the default is form based authentication, it never sends an authentication required, but instead just sends the login form. In the test I try to send the basic auth header using WebClient webClient = new WebClient(); DefaultCredentialsProvider creds = new DefaultCredentialsProvider(); // Set some example credentials creds.addCredentials("usr", "pwd"); // And now add the provider to the webClient instance webClient

I'm trying to modify the Casablanca tutorial to include basic HTTP authentication to access the Prosper API : auto fileStream = std::make_shared<ostream>(); // Open stream to output file. auto requestTask = fstream::open_ostream(U("results.html")).then([=](ostream outFile) { *fileStream = outFile; // Create http_client to send the request. http_client_config config; credentials creds( "username", "password" ); config.set_credentials( creds ); http_client client( U( "https://api.prosper.com/" ), config ); // Build request URI and start the request. uri_builder builder(U("/api/Listings/"));

I have been using HTTPClient version 4.1.2 to try to access a REST over HTTP API that requires Basic Authentication. Here is client code: DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient(new ThreadSafeClientConnManager()); // Enable HTTP Basic Auth httpClient.getCredentialsProvider().setCredentials( new AuthScope(AuthScope.ANY_HOST, AuthScope.ANY_PORT), new UsernamePasswordCredentials(this.username, this.password)); HttpHost proxy = new HttpHost(this.proxyURI.getHost(), this.proxyURI.getPort()); httpClient.getParams().setParameter(ConnRouteParams.DEFAULT_PROXY, proxy); When I construct a

I'm trying to use Basic HTTP Authentication and followed the example on the PHP manual page. But it doesn't work for me. The variable $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'] doesn't seem to be set. When a user try to log in, the user is prompted whith a new login-dialog. The server is running PHP 5.3.3 and I have tried with Google Chrome and Internet Explorer. Here is the simple example that I used: <?php if (!isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'])) { header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="Jonas Realm"'); header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized'); echo 'User pressed Cancel'; exit; } else { echo "<p>Hello {$_SERVER['PHP
