Web Interface - API Settings - Advanced Settings not saved

General Beta 6.0
1

I've set an app password and wanted to enable the option Local clients need to authenticate to access the API. But whenever I enable this option, right after saving it gets disabeld.

    Version is v5.18.3-525-g1a48706 (Latest: null)

I can reproduce this. This is a bug

The API endpoint behind this setting was removed during v6 development. This PR removes the text and checkbox from the web interface

I think we decided during the development that also all local clients need to authenticate, except those who can read the cli_pw stored in /etc/pihole/cli_pw. This setting can be turned off at webserver.api.cli_pw

Can confirm that it is removed from the Web-UI. Thanks.
