I have a node.js app that used to work when basicAuth was a module of node. Below code would popup a password and username prompt when visiting app.
// start the UI
var app = express();
app.use(express.basicAuth('me', 'openforme'));
app.use(kue.app);
app.listen(3001);
Now that basicAuth was removed as a module, from node, I am using express-basic-auth. When using the below code I get a 401 unauthorized error because it is not giving me a username and password popup prompt like basicAuth did?
// start the UI
var app = express();
var basicAuth = require('express-basic-auth');
app.use(basicAuth({
users: { 'me': 'openforme' }
}));
app.use(kue.app);
app.listen(3001);

Now there is an out-of-the-box option from
express-basic-auth
. The Challenge property.
