Hello everyone! I wanted to migrate from Nginx Ingress to Nginx Gateway, but I can't find anything about HTTP Basic Authentication. Is an implementation planned ? |

Hey @ax-ml! While we do have a spot for it mapped out in our planned policies and filters but it has not been prioritized yet. So this brings up a few questions: Do you happen to be using basic auth in a production setting? |

Hi @mpstefan, We use basic auth in our test and staging environments and for productions that we want to be temporarily inaccessible. This allows us to block access to our front office and back office. Our api is already secured by JWT. |

Ah ha, that makes a lot of sense. For authentication and authorization, we are going to wait until the Gateway API releases an experimental version of an object around it. We'd hate to implement our own custom auth filter only for the Gateway API to then release their own. At that time, we'll definitely look at including basic auth. If you're interested, you can keep an eye on and participate in the conversation here! |

Update to this, we will be adding Basic Auth support in 2.4 with our new AuthenticationFilter. |
