Trigger browser authorization dialog in vmauth

[ofen]

Describe the solution you'd like

1. Add user in config.yaml
2. Navigate browser to instance (e.g. http://vmauth:80)
3. Browser prompt for username and password
4. Enter correct credential
5. vmauth route to configured endpoint

Current implementation

1. Add user in config.yaml
2. Pass additional args (should be same as in config.yaml):
   • -httpAuth.username=admin
   • -httpAuth.password=12345678
3. Navigate browser to instance (e.g. http://vmauth:80)
4. Browser prompt for username and password
5. Enter correct credential
6. vmauth route only to configured endpoint with credentials from -httpAuth.username and -httpAuth.password (other routes will result 401 HTTP error code)

The commit that adds browser authorization dialog to vmauth has been included in v1.39.4. Closing the issue as done.

still need to remove -httpAuth.username and -httpAuth.password flags from vmauth because it's leading to only one acceptable basic auth header

Yeah. The temporary workaround is just don't set these flags when running vmauth :)
