Describe the Bug

When configuring password protection under the Authentication Methods section in Pangolin, the security layer is not being enforced.

After assigning a password to protect a resource, the application does not prompt for authentication and allows access without requiring the configured credentials.

Environment

  • OS Type & Version: (e.g., Ubuntu 22.04)
  • Pangolin Version: 1.15.4
  • Gerbil Version: 1.3.0
  • Traefik Version: 3.6.8
  • Newt Version: 1.9.0
  • Olm Version: (if applicable)

To Reproduce

  1. Navigate to Authentication Methods.
  2. Assign password protection to a resource.
  3. Attempt to access the protected resource.
  4. Observe that no authentication is required

Expected Behavior

Once password protection is enabled and configured, users should be required to authenticate before gaining access to the protected resource.

Yeah I tried external browsers and I still get the login screen without the
extra layer of protection.
