Not able to use existing .htpasswd file for basic auth

[AutumnSun1996]

It says will use .htpasswd file present in the app directory if basic_auth is set without env BASIC_AUTH_USERNAME and BASIC_AUTH_PASSWORD in the docs.

This will generate .htpasswd using environment variables BASIC_AUTH_USERNAME and BASIC_AUTH_PASSWORD if they are present. Otherwise it will use a standard .htpasswd file present in the app directory.

I want to use my own .htpasswd file (since there are already some user info in it), but it didn't work as expected.

It seems the .htpasswd file in app root dir is never uploaded to heroku dyno.

How can I use an existing .htpasswd file?

Hi

This buildpack is now deprecated and we are recommending people move the more actively maintained heroku-buildpack-nginx. For migration advice see here.

As such, I'm closing this issue out since we won't be making further changes to this buildpack.
