Integration API Authentication

Dashboard / Writing room
#1

Hey,

I've been reading Connect to a custom API | Prismic Help Center. It says that the authentication token you provide is used as the username for basic auth flow.

I'm using Caddy server and it currently doesn't support Basic Auth without a password.

Would you guys consider updating this to token to be the password and perhaps a fixed username like Prismic?

I'm curious behind the decision to make it the username and not the password.

cheers,
Scott.

I worked out a way to do this with Caddy, but would still be interested in the change and thought process behind it.

Hey Fares,

This is the workaround for caddy... Basic auth without password - #2 by francislavoie - Help - Caddy Community

Their standard method requires a username and a password.
