Basic authentication with the ESP-IDF HTTPS-Server

[tionebrr]

Hello folks.

Does the ESP-IDF provides a way of securing webpages and websockets with password/login? I can find some documentation about authentication as client but not as server.
I am developing a product that will be installed on public places and I need the embedded configuration pages to be somewhat safe.

Hi,

I have the same requisite, but for a local network.

I also need authentication (user, pass) for http server.
I found only tutorials for Arduino.

esp-idf/examples/protocols/http_server/simple/ has an example of basic authentication in it. I'd say mashing that together with esp-idf/examples/protocols/https_server/simple/ would do the job.

@ESP_Sprite,

Will authentication be encrypted in this way ?

As it'll happen over https, I imagine it will.
