Hi,
We have a few things on our existing server that we need to pull into Matrix via remote content as it is simply not workable to rewrite them to be matrix native. Everything is working as expected for the sections that allow anonymous access, however things are not so good once we need Matrix to authenticate against the back end server.
At the moment we are not bothering with getting users to authenticate (we will get to that later) and are instead putting in a single username/password in the http authentication section at the bottom of the details screen of the remote content asset.
From my understanding this should then be used by Matrix to make the request. But in the logs of the other server the request is still coming through as anonymous and matrix is returning a 401 error.
I can get access to the data via a wget from the matrix server using the same credentials so there are no firewall or other issues standing in the way, and other un-authenticated remote content from the same server is fine.
Is there something wrong with my understanding of the authentication or is this a bug?
This is in 3.14.2 SSV

so nobody can confirm if this is a bug, issue with our install, or i am screwing something up?
What are the options from here, report it as a bug and get it tested?
I would suggest logging a support request with our help desk first.
