you could use Plack::Builder;

append the following inside your app.psgi file

use Plack::Builder;

builder {
      enable "Auth::Basic", authenticator => \&authen_cb;
}

sub authen_cb {
      my($username, $password, $env) = @_;
      return ($username eq 'testuser' && $password eq 'testpassword')
}

Hi!

I try to run one simple Dancer app behind Apache proxy and because
there is a bunch of old CGI scripts running on same server, restricted
by basic authentication, I'd like to use the same authentication
scheme in Dancer app too.

My Apache config looks like this:

<Location /xyz/z >
ProxyPass http://localhost:5001
ProxyPassReverse http://localhost:5001
RequestHeader set Request-Base /xyz/z
AuthName "myadmin"
AuthType basic
AuthUserFile /etc/htpasswd.adm
Require valid-user
</Location>

So far, so good.

Problem: in Dancer I can't access env variable REMOTE_USER.

AFAIU Dancer::Request object does not forward this variable. What is
the best way to access REMOTE_USER value inside Dancer?
