Is there any difference in behaviour between auth/credentials and auth/basic?

We have two separate websites which essentially share the same UserAuth data store. We want to provide the user with a link from one to the other without requiring them to login again.

At the moment we currently make a call to the target website's API: /auth/credentials which sets up the session and allows us to then redirect the user, bypassing the need go through the login screen. Great.

As far as I can tell /auth/basic should do exactly the same thing. However, the response from the API call is the same but when redirected the user ends up at the login page.

Have I missed something?

They are not the same, the BasicAuthProvider enables HTTP’s Basic Access Authentication and is a per Request Auth Provider.
