Is there a way to set up simple http authentication for a Ruby on Rails app on heroku?

Question

I want to set up a private staging server on heroku using simple http authentication. Is that possible?

Answer 1

On Rails4, I got "No such middleware to insert after: Rack::Lock" error. Replace Adam's code to the below:

# config/environments/staging.rb
MyApp::Application.configure do
  config.middleware.use '::Rack::Auth::Basic' do |u, p|
    [u, p] == ['username', 'password']
  end
  # ...
end
