Is there any possibility from which we can by pass username and password in eclipse che url?

[nipobhsnro]

I want to display eclipse che url : http://{ip-addrees}/dashboard in mvc C# but every time when I am loading that url it is giving me a pop up for username and password. So is there any api or any thing from which I can bypass username and password?

can any one please help me with this?

The reproduction steps are not clear, so engineers will not be able to help without those steps and possibly animated gif to show it.

Che version :4.5.1 and image: bitnami eclipse che.
please find attached screen shot

This will not be a Che issue - it's a Bitnami issue with their configuration. @bmicklea - who is the right person from Bitnami to investigate?

[bmicklea]

@nipobhsnro when you started the cloud machine from Bitnami you should have seen a screen that looks like this:

In the Credentials section you have your username and password. That should get you in.

@bmicklea I have created virtual machine from azure portal with eclipse che installation.
And I change default password of bitnami using following command:
sudo htpasswd /opt/bitnami/apps/eclipseche/conf/.htpasswd user

[bmicklea]

Ah, I see - you want to avoid the login altogether. As Tyler mentioned that authentication is part of the Bitnami image so we will need someone from Bitnami to explain if it can be turned off or bypassed. Of course if you turn it off then anyone who knew the IP address would be able to access your server.

@bmicklea ya by turning off credentials any one can access it..so i dont want to turn off credentials but is there any api from which we can pass that credentials and open eclipse che url?
In my application i need to open that url but user(which will use that application) would not known the username and password so i need to by pass it using any api

[bmicklea]

I don't think so, the API is part of Che but the authentication you're seeing is from the Apache web server and added by Bitnami to secure Che when used on a public cloud.

Bitnami does not provide an API for their credential management, I believe. @bmicklea - the API for Che is a different auth mechanism, not the one he is running into.

[worksamp]

@bmicklea and @TylerJewell so everytime i need to enter that credentials?

[bmicklea]

I believe so, but as I said you're really asking about something that Bitnami built and isn't part of Eclipse Che directly so I'm not 100% sure. I've asked Bitnami to comment.

@bmicklea and @TylerJewell Thank you so much for your help. I am looking forward from Bitnami.

@worksamp I'm a Bitnami Engineer. As mentioned earlier, Bitnami does not provide an API for credential management. Our Eclipse Che cloud image is configured to use HTTP basic authentication to avoid exposing the application to the Internet in a public cloud provider.

I'm aware this is not the best solution to your issue, but if you want to disable the authentication for your server, you may do so by running the following commands:

$ sudo sed -i -e 's/Require valid-user/Require all granted/g' /opt/bitnami/apps/eclipseche/conf/httpd-app.conf
$ sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh restart apache

An alternative solution would be to include the username and the password in the URL, like this:

http://<user>:<password>@example.com/dashboard

@bmicklea @TylerJewell @worksamp @amrecio Thanks for your help .
I think its better everytime user will enter username and password any ways by using this http://:@example.com/dashboard user will know the username and password.
