"@theia/workspace": "next",
"@theia/preferences": "next",
"@theia/navigator": "next",
"@theia/process": "next",
"@theia/terminal": "next",
"@theia/editor": "next",
"@theia/languages": "next",
"@theia/markers": "next",
"@theia/monaco": "next",
"@theia/textmate-grammars": "next",
"@theia/typescript": "next",
"@theia/messages": "next",
"theia-middleware": "^0.1.4" // << Add this line
},
"devDependencies": {
"@theia/cli": "next"
}
}
And now apply added package and rebuild the theia
yarn && yarn theia build
Create .env
file in your theia root directory (Same location with package.json)
Finally, edit the .env
file for settings. if without .env
file, default user and password is admin
and admin
echo 'AUTH_USER=yourname' >> .env
echo 'AUTH_PASS=yourpassword' >> .env
Restart theia
- AUTH_TYPE (default: BASIC) : can be one of
BASIC
orOTP
- AUTH_USER (default: admin, scope:
BASIC
) - AUTH_PASS (default: admin, scope:
BASIC
) - AUTH_REALM (default: authenticate, scope:
BASIC
) - AUTH_FALLBACK_MSG (default: Authentication required., scope:
BASIC
) - AUTH_LOGOUT_USER (default: LOGOUT, scope:
BASIC
) - AUTH_OTP_NAME (default: Theia, scope:
OTP
) - AUTH_OTP_SECRET (scope:
OTP
)
AUTH_LOGOUT_USER
is using at HTTP Basic auth logout.
it just redirect to http[s]://[AUTH_LOGOUT_USER]@[host]
for logout.
BTW if the AUTH_LOGOUT_USER
is same with AUTH_USER
logout doesn't work
So in this case you have to change AUTH_LOGOUT_USER
from .env
file
- Set
AUTH_TYPE
toOTP
in your.env
file - Visit to theia IDE, then OTP setup page will show
- Save secret key in your
.env
file - Capture QRCode on your device
- Visit to theia IDE rootpath(ex: http://your-ip-address-or-host/), now enabled input the OTP token
