How to prevent browser to invoke basic auth popup and handle 401 error using Jquery?

by

I was facing this issue recently, too. Since you can’t change the browser’s default behavior of showing the popup in case of a 401 (basic or digest authentication), there are two ways to fix this:

  • Change the server response to not return a 401. Return a 200 code instead and handle this in your jQuery client.

  • Change the method that you’re using for authorization to a custom value in your header. Browsers will display the popup for Basic and Digest. You have to change this on both the client and the server.

    headers : {
  "Authorization" : "BasicCustom"
}

Please also take a look at this for an example of using jQuery with Basic Auth.
