Botpress webchat authetication

Question

I am trying to use authentication in BotPress web chat interface. I have seen the example here:

So to start with I am trying login_prompt. But how the redirection to login prompt will happen? I have tried putting all 3 things mentioned in page for basic auth but there is no redirection happening to login prompt.

Could you post the code you tried and the errors you get? – Alberto Sep 03 '18 at 08:46 — Alberto, Sep 03 '18 at 08:46

If you did everything they say in the manual only you need to activate the login.

In orden to do this you need to edit the file botfile.js and change the value of login.enabled to true

/*
  Access control of admin panel
*/
login: {
    enabled: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production', // true
    useCloud: process.env.BOTPRESS_CLOUD_ENABLED,
    tokenExpiry: '6 hours',
    password: process.env.BOTPRESS_PASSWORD || 'password',
    maxAttempts: 3,
    resetAfter: 10 * 60 * 1000 // 10 minutes
},

Or start your application in production mode.

To set an environment variable in Windows:

SET NODE_ENV=production

on Linux:

export NODE_ENV=production
