Username of BasicAuth is empty in Request of Middleware

Hi Guys,

quick question: Am i doing something wrong? I have a middleware, and in the middleware i just call dd($request->getUser()); in the handle method. When i send then an request with username and password, it is always empty. Any ideas?

@stefanbauer It is working for me. Are you using PHP FastCGI with apache? In that case you will need to add the following lines inside your .htaccess.

RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} ^(.+)$
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]

@bestmomo : Tried it already, same result: null @usman : I also read about that, and thought that this is the problem. But: I have PHP running as module.

Any further ideas? :)
