HTTP Basic sign-in ​

Signs requests to the bakers.build server in with a fixed HTTP Basic token.

For servers that are set up for HTTP Basic, such as test instances. Most users sign in with a sign-in profile instead.

Enable it ​

Add the package to addons in your connection config (bakers.config.js or connections/<id>.js).

js
addons: [
  { use: '@bakers-build/addon-auth-basic', with: { basic: '<base64 user:password>' } },
],

Options ​

OptionTypeDefaultEffect
basicstringnoneBase64 of user:password, sent as Authorization: Basic … on every request. Without it the addon adds nothing.

Check it works ​

A read through the connection succeeds instead of answering 401.

Good to know ​

  • The token is a secret. Keep it out of committed files.
  • Sign-in and sign-out are not supported; the token is always treated as signed in.
