Review comment:
       You raise an interesting question, AFAIK basic HTTP authentication 
requires a username, but will work with a password that is an empty string.  
   
   A quick search found bugs in other projects where they are failing to 
support null passwords.  **_From my point of view the question is really 
whether we should allow empty passwords or not._**  
   
   In your review of the original PR in April, you suggested that  
customValidate for the controller be enhanced to throw an error if auth type 
was basic and either username or password were unset.  
   
   I've done as  you requested in that orignal PR, and the UX will display a 
validation error with a meaningful message that both username and password are 
required when auth type is basic.  
   
   Bottom line here is I'll bend to your judgement on this, let me know what 
you think we should do
