Hi
To enable basic authentication, you need to set the ifsappproxy.basicAuthEnabled parameter to true in ifscloud-values.yaml file and run the IFS Cloud installer with mtinstaller option.
- Documentation for ifsappproxy.basicAuthEnabled parameter: https://docs.ifs.com/techdocs/23r1/070_remote_deploy/010_installing_fresh_system/200_installing_ifs_cloud/035_ifs_cloud_ifsinstaller/030_installation_parameters/#parameters_for_doc
- Documentation for mtinstaller: https://docs.ifs.com/techdocs/23r1/070_remote_deploy/010_installing_fresh_system/200_installing_ifs_cloud/035_ifs_cloud_ifsinstaller/020_installer_actions/
Hope this helps!
