JS Client: Chrome login popup when authentication fails
Hello community
I'm having some problems with chrome and the basic authentication (jquery) with the javascript client from nuxeo. I have a form based login which works fine when the credentials are ok, but when the authentication fails, I get a popup from chrome asking for the credentials again. I have spent some time doing research and found out that this happens because chrome is getting a 401 response, and it automatically shows the popup. I tried several solutions as altering the Authorization header to other thing than “Basic …” but I haven't had any luck. I wonder if any of you guys have come across this before and found a workaround.
This is my connection code, nuxeo's js library is untouched.
var nuxeoclient = new nuxeo.Client({
baseURL: 'http://localhost:8080/nuxeo',
restPath: 'site/api/v1',
automationPath: 'site/api/v1/automation',
auth: {
method: 'basic',
username: form.username.value,
password: form.password.value
},
timeout: 30000
})
var h = nuxeoclient._headers;
nuxeoclient._computeAuthentication(h);
nuxeoclient.connect(function(error, client) {
if (error) {
//do stuff
}else{
///blah blah
}
});
