[FIXED] Codeigniter Rest server Digest or Basic auth cant login

Issue

I'm using Phil Sturgeon’s REST Server. I'm having trouble to set up the basic or digest authentication. When calling the method i get the dialog that prompts for username and password even if i write in the correct username and password it wont accept it. How do i troubleshoot this ? Is it my web host that doesnt allow it ?

This is how i set up the auth in rest.php: The rest is default.

$config['rest_auth']         = 'Basic';
$config['auth_source']       = '';
$config['rest_valid_logins'] = array('admin' => 'password');

Solution

I found the solution myself. I had to add this on my .htaccess file.

RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization},L]
