Login Http Auth

This plugin extends the standard Matomo (Piwik) 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.
