Basic Auth

Certain server arrangements don't allow the Basic Auth credentials to be made available under PHP. To get around this, you'll need to set an environment variable in the site root .htaccess file.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
</IfModule>

This must be in the site root .htaccess (not the wp-content/uploads/satispress/.htaccess), and it must come before the WordPress redirects.

Until the following has been added into a released version of SatisPress, you'll also need to amend authorize_package_request() method inside class/satispress-authentication-basic.php. Add the following as the first line of that method, before the $user variable is set:

if ( ! isset( $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'] ) && isset( $_SERVER['HTTP_AUTHORIZATION'] ) ) {
	list( $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'], $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW'] ) =
		explode( ':', base64_decode( substr( $_SERVER['HTTP_AUTHORIZATION'], 6 ) ) );
}
