 * Hi, I have followed the HTTP Basic Auth steps for Dokan Rest API mentioned [here](https://wedevsofficial.github.io/dokan/)
 * I have installed and activated the plugin from [here](https://github.com/WP-API/Basic-Auth)
 * It successfully works for dokan rest API. But the Basic Auth plugin is working
   globally for all wordpress including woocommerce rest API. Therefore other woocommerce
   mobile apps are non-functional with that plugin.
 * Is there any method to limit authentication to the only dokan. No Side effect
   to other wordpress and woocommerce api. Please consider it as a major issue and
   the long term solution would be the separate rest api setting in dokan just like
   wooocommerce has.
