Hi :slight_smile: I am very newbie to arduino but fast to understand. I am try make way so control 4 relays remote by iphone. I have sketch for buttons and is works but it MUST have login/password. please help me understand where to I put my code.

Everything to I try make errors. many many hours :astonished:

Here is login/password authentication code I trying.

/*
  HTTP Advanced Authentication example
  Created Mar 16, 2017 by Ahmed El-Sharnoby.

#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
#include <ESP8266mDNS.h>
#include <ArduinoOTA.h>
#include <ESP8266WebServer.h>

#ifndef STASSID
#define STASSID "your-ssid"
#define STAPSK  "your-password"
#endif

const char* ssid = STASSID;
const char* password = STAPSK;

ESP8266WebServer server(80);

const char* www_username = "admin";
const char* www_password = "esp8266";
// allows you to set the realm of authentication Default:"Login Required"
const char* www_realm = "Custom Auth Realm";
// the Content of the HTML response in case of Unautherized Access Default:empty
String authFailResponse = "Authentication Failed";

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
  WiFi.mode(WIFI_STA);
  WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
  if (WiFi.waitForConnectResult() != WL_CONNECTED) {
    Serial.println("WiFi Connect Failed! Rebooting...");
    delay(1000);
    ESP.restart();
  }
  ArduinoOTA.begin();

  server.on("/", []() {
    if (!server.authenticate(www_username, www_password))
      //Basic Auth Method with Custom realm and Failure Response
      //return server.requestAuthentication(BASIC_AUTH, www_realm, authFailResponse);
      //Digest Auth Method with realm="Login Required" and empty Failure Response
      //return server.requestAuthentication(DIGEST_AUTH);
      //Digest Auth Method with Custom realm and empty Failure Response
      //return server.requestAuthentication(DIGEST_AUTH, www_realm);
      //Digest Auth Method with Custom realm and Failure Response
    {
      return server.requestAuthentication(DIGEST_AUTH, www_realm, authFailResponse);
    }
    server.send(200, "text/plain", "Login OK");
  });
  server.begin();

  Serial.print("Open http://");
  Serial.print(WiFi.localIP());
  Serial.println("/ in your browser to see it working");
}

void loop() {
  ArduinoOTA.handle();
  server.handleClient();
}

Do I put my code in void loop()? or makes something like - void http() {and put http code in here}?
and then put http() - in place of - server.send(200, "text/plain", "Login OK"); ?
Thankyou

Hi Mei Lien,

looks like we are trying to do the same thing...webserver with authentication.

I have something that is a step in the right direction but not quite there yet. It works on some browsers/devices and others, not... try it out on a few devices and you will see what I mean.

Also, see my posting:
ESP8266 WebServer with Authentication - thought this would be easy
https://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=662781.msg4464456#msg4464456

Hopefully you have better luck than I'm having...cheers!

Thankyou Thankyou!! This work for me. Will try more browsers.

Have you looked in the IDE examples for sample authentication code? The below code works with the ESP8366 wifi chip.

#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
#include <ESP8266mDNS.h>
#include <ArduinoOTA.h>
#include <ESP8266WebServer.h>

#ifndef STASSID
#define STASSID "your-ssid"
#define STAPSK  "your-password"
#endif

const char* ssid = STASSID;
const char* password = STAPSK;

ESP8266WebServer server(80);

const char* www_username = "admin";
const char* www_password = "esp8266";

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
  WiFi.mode(WIFI_STA);
  WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
  if (WiFi.waitForConnectResult() != WL_CONNECTED) {
    Serial.println("WiFi Connect Failed! Rebooting...");
    delay(1000);
    ESP.restart();
  }
  ArduinoOTA.begin();

  server.on("/", []() {
    if (!server.authenticate(www_username, www_password)) {
      return server.requestAuthentication();
    }
    server.send(200, "text/plain", "Login OK");
  });
  server.begin();

  Serial.print("Open http://");
  Serial.print(WiFi.localIP());
  Serial.println("/ in your browser to see it working");
}

void loop() {
  ArduinoOTA.handle();
  server.handleClient();
}
