or alternatively set the environment variables to use the same authentication for Scope app and Scope probe:

```cli
ENABLE_BASIC_AUTH: set to "true"
BASIC_AUTH_USERNAME: set to the desired user (default "admin")
BASIC_AUTH_PASSWORD: set to the desired password (default "admin")
```

Note that there is no standard programmatic way of expiring a session with Basic Auth, so the users would normally stayed logged in until the authentication params have changed. See [this article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_access_authentication#Security) for more details.

## ARM Support

- It required patches, @adivyoseph (on [#scope](https://weave-community.slack.com/messages/scope/)) had done some work on this.
- [#2110](https://github.com/weaveworks/scope/issues/2110) says that scope's CI builds ARM32 (but not ARM64) for test-builds at least.
- @errordeveloper says: It should be easy to add arm64 in CI, You can try and enable builds in ci on a branch.. In theory, you just need to build for `GOARCH=arm64`.

## LDAP Support

Scope doesn't support LDAP right now.

## Data Storage

OSS Scope reports aren't persistent and the probe keeps the last 15 seconds of metrics in memory.
