Expand description

Default WWW-Authenticate header value for HTTP Basic authentication.

RFC 7617 Section 2.2: the challenge includes:

  • realm — the protection space identifier.
  • charset="UTF-8" — indicates the server accepts UTF-8 encoded credentials per RFC 7617 Section 2.1.

EST servers use this to prompt clients for OTP credentials when mTLS is not available.
