Hi Pierre, It’s not well-supported. At one point, it did work, but it appears to be very rare that people have this sort of setup, since most will use LDAP or ActiveDirectory or something if they want centralized authentication.
Just out of curiosity, how much further do you get if oyu change ReviewBoardHTTPPasswordMgr.find_user_password to accept your realm?

It is installed on a web server that is protected by HTTP Basic Authentication. We haven't been able to use RBTools to interact with it as we couldn't find the right configuration to pass this authentication wall. After looking through the code, I didn't see how it could be configured at all, and came to the conclusion that this feature wasn't supported. I also didn't find an obvious way to modify ReviewBoardHTTPBasicAuthHandler or ReviewBoardHTTPPasswordMgr to add that feature. I resorted to defining a new server option, and passing it through RBClient, SyncTransport and finally to ReviewBoardServer, where it is used to define a new urllib2.HTTPBasicAuthHandler which gets added to the list of handlers. You can see the diff at https://github.com/pmariani/rbtools/compare/basic-auth-hack It's hacky but good enough for my use case. However, I would rather not maintain a fork and would like to be able to push similar changes back to the main RBTools repo. Can someone confirm that HTTP Basic Authentication isn't currently supported in RBTools? Are there design resources that would let me adapt my hack to something acceptable by the project?
