Basic Authentication in Sitecore 10

Basic Authentication in Sitecore 10 


Sitecore 10 supports Basic Authentication, which is a simple authentication mechanism that is defined in the HTTP protocol. This method sends the user credentials in plain text, encoded in base64, with each request to the server. Basic Authentication requires a username and password to be sent with each request to access protected resources on the server.

To enable Basic Authentication in Sitecore 10, you can follow these steps:

  1. Log in to the Sitecore 10 instance as an administrator.
  2. Navigate to the Sitecore Control Panel.
  3. Select Security Tools > Authentication.
  4. Select the domain you want to configure.
  5. Click the Basic button.
  6. Enter the username and password for the user you want to authenticate.
  7. Click the Save button.

After enabling Basic Authentication, you can access protected resources on the Sitecore 10 server by including the username and password in the HTTP Authorization header of each request.

Set up Sitecore XM cloud

Working on Sitecore development projects typically involves two key steps. The first is the installation or deployment of the Sitecore instance, followed by the implementation or solution development. For those familiar with Sitecore XP/XM, deploying a vanilla Sitecore instance using tools like SIF/SIA could be time-consuming, often taking several hours due to prerequisites such as setting up Solr, SQL, and more. However, the introduction of Sitecore Experience Manager Cloud (XM Cloud) has revolutionized this process. XM Cloud serves as a fully managed, self-service deployment platform tailored for developers, effectively addressing the challenges of lengthy deployment times. It enables the deployment of a fresh Sitecore instance with a fully functional website in just a few clicks. In this blog post, I'll demonstrate how to deploy a demo website on the Sitecore XM Cloud. Subsequently, in the next blog post, I'll illustrate how effortlessly you can configure your local app deve...
