Hi,

Basic authentication with angular is a bit tricky. There is no generic
solution, it all depends how your app is modelled. What is the dhis url?
from where are you running the app?

For example - even if you have both the app and dhis on local host if the
request comes from another port angular and your browser think of CROS and
initiate a preflight, where your authentication header is never sent to the
server... hence the server sending you a redirect to login page which
angular ignores during preflight.

I think there could be something we could do from the dhis side so that it
returns proper CORS response - may be Morten can say more on this.

But tell us more how your app and server are configured. As a start up take
a look into the following....

    var credentials =  $.param({j_username: 'admin', j_password:
'district'});
    var config = {headers:
{'Content-Type':'application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8'}};
    $http.post('DHIS_LOGIN_URL', credentials, config).success(function
(data) {
         //see the length of data - if data has some value, it means dhis2
redirect page, then login has failed
         //otherwise login success proceed with your api calls....
    });

Abyot.
