Maps: add a Geoserver WMS Layer protected with Basic Authentication

Add-ons
#1

Hello,

I need to add a Geoserver WMS Layer protected with Basic Authentication to a Geomap.
I tried adding a “custom option” (Authorization) using a custom WMSTileLayerLeafletLayerTranslator, but the option is added to the URL and not in the Header.

I’d like to do something like this:

var wmsLayer = L.TileLayer.wmsHeader(
    'https://GEOSERVER_PATH/geoserver/wms?',
    {
        layers: 'YOUR_LAYER',
        format: 'image/png',
        transparent: true,
    },
    [
        { 
            header: 'Authorization', 
            value: `Basic ${btoa(username + ':' + password)}` 
        },
    ],
    null
).addTo(map);

How can achieve this?
Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Paolo
