 Description   

aaa-authn when doing http basic auth is not returning http header:

WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="insert realm"

as required in the RFC:

http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1945#section-10.16

Please also note useful info here:

So... we appear to be getting the WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="insert realm" now, but basic auth itself is broken.

Please try

feature:install odl-aaa-authn odl-restconf odl-toaster

and then from a browser hit the URL:

http://localhost:8181/restconf/operational/toaster:toaster

You should get prompted for a username and password, but admin admin will not be accepted.

Likewise if you then try it from Postman sending:

Authorization: Basic YWRtaW46YWRtaW4=

(which previously had worked in the authn case) it will not work.

This has been verified by Ed and me.
