Created a container with Postgrest (REST API to Postgres tables/views). Postgrest uses JWT authentication to derive user name to connect to the database. Basically a header with "Authorization: Bearer ". The container is deployed inside Kubernetes. To protect from unauthorized access is used Ambassador. Ambassador has basic authentication and requests user and password when trying to access the container.
Trying to access this configuration with Postman or curl can't make it work with both authentications active. So that Ambassador asks for user and password and after authenticating user the request proceeds with the JWT token used by Postgrest. Is there at all a way to do that?
Tried to put both authentications together as header "Authorization: Basic <username:password in base64>, Bearer ". Does not work. Tried using Poorman's Bearer Authentication from here: API key auth for Ambassador . Also does not work. Ended up using bypass_auth: true in the Ambassador mapping for the Postgrest container. Considering to try JWT filter in the Ambassador mapping (https://www.getambassador.io/docs/edge-stack/latest/topics/using/filters/jwt).
