REST API is working without authentication methods. Now i wanted to authenticate REST API with HTTP Basic authentication for API requests via mobile application. I tried with yii2 guide, but it didn’t work for me.
basically mobile user need to be login with username & password, if a username and password are correct, user need to be login and further API request need to be validate with token.
when i debug findIdentityByAccessToken() function $token equal to username.
Postman extension used for check HTTP Basic requests.
access_token field in user table is empty. do i need to save it manually ?
how to return access_token as a respond?
is there any reason for all three methods(HttpBasicAuth, HttpBearerAuth, QueryParamAuth) at once, why? how?
my application folder structure looks like below.
