We are only supporting this plugin up to Matomo 3 and we will no longer support it as part of Matomo 4 due to little usage. If you are interested in maintaining this plugin and making it compatible with Matomo 4 please get in touch.
This plugin extends the standard Matomo authentication to use Basic HTTP Authentication. It lets you login to Matomo using the HTTP Auth mechanism.
How do I setup HTTP Auth using Matomo?
-
Login your Matomo as Super User. Click Settings, then click Marketplace.
-
Install the LoginHttpAuth plugin, then click Activate.
-
Click Settings, then click Users.
- Check that there is a user in Matomo for each person that should have access to Matomo.
-
Enable HTTP Auth on the Matomo on your web server.
For example, if you are using Apache webserver:
- generate a .htpasswd file with your encrypted logins and passwords
- copy this example .htaccess file in the root directory of Matomo, and set the path to your .htpasswd file
-
When you go to Matomo, you will see the Authentication window. Congratulations! You are now using HTTP Auth to protect Matomo.
