Password is just 8 characters. Tried querying API thru postman and curl both. Query fails for both the cases. Anyone knows if rest basic authentication is compatible with ubuntu or not? Also Using the Koha REST API - Koha Wiki (koha-community.org) <https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Using_the_Koha_REST_API> indicates *RESTBasicAuth* only works when using Plack; it will not work when using CGI. Any idea what needs to be done for this? I simply downloaded latest koha and configured in ubuntu, enabled *RESTBasicAuth* = True and tried querying thru postman as well as curl. Koha version I am using is 20.11, password is just 8 characters. Similar thing works with https://intranet.bywatersolutions.com/api/v1/cities but it doesn't work with my installation. Is there any additional settings needs to be changed in koha-sites.conf, koha-common.conf or koha-httpd.conf? Appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
one possible reason is too long password, I know that at least <= 32 characters work.
