PR Description
This adds support for using
htpasswd
for server authentication. Sinceotelcol.auth.basic
is a wrapper aroundbasicauthextension
, which already supports both inline and file based server authentication, this adds such support for alloy as well. This would be really useful when we want to have multiple users trying to send data to Alloy and we don't want to a reverse proxy for authenticating calls.This also makes the
username
andpassword
fields optional since we should be able to just usehtpasswd
files for server side authentication. They must be filled in when the handler is used for client authentication.PR Checklist
