I've set up an express basic auth using the express-basic-auth module.
const basicAuthFunc = basicAuth({
challenge: true,
users: { 'admin': s.BASIC_AUTH.ADMIN_PASS }
})
it works on localhost. I'm prompted with a popup js challenge.
i'm deploying to lambda function and using AWS API gateway.
the page does not present me with the challange. I just get the 401 directly.
I tried removing the basic auth and the page loads so it's just related to the basic auth.
what headers should I add to api gateway ?
tried this one : https://medium.com/@Da_vidgf/http-basic-auth-with-api-gateway-and-serverless-5ae14ad0a270
adding WWW-Authenticate and 'Basic' to 401 response.
didn't work
