Express: BasicAuth
I'm trying to do some basic authorisation to my the endpoints in an express app using express-basic-auth, but it keeps giving me a 401 unauthorised. I think the headers I'm sending in Post man are incorrect:
Middleware:
app.use(basicAuth({
users: {'admin': 'supersecret'},
unauthorizedResponse: 'You are not authorized.'
}));
Postman GET request headers:
Authorization:admin:supersecret
How can I get authorised based on the headers?

Answer
Your authorization header should look like this: Authorization: Basic YWRtaW46c3VwZXJzZWNyZXQ=
The last part is the result of encoding admin:supersecret. I just found this tool to generate basic authentication headers, however, Postman can generate the headers itself. Just click on the Authorization option next to Headers and choose Basic Auth.
