authenticateBasicPF • Akka HTTP (original) (raw)

Signature

type AuthenticatorPF[T] = PartialFunction[Credentials, T]

def authenticateBasicPF[T](realm: String, authenticator: AuthenticatorPF[T]): AuthenticationDirective[T]

Description

Wraps the inner route with Http Basic authentication support using a given AuthenticatorPF[T]AuthenticatorPF<T> - Partial function from Optional<ProvidedCredentials> to String.

Provides support for handling HTTP Basic Authentication.

Refer to authenticateBasic for a detailed description of this directive.

Its semantics are equivalent to authenticateBasicPF ’s, where not handling a case in the Partial Function (PF) leaves the request to be rejected with a AuthenticationFailedRejectionAuthenticationFailedRejection rejection.

Longer-running authentication tasks (like looking up credentials in a database) should use authenticateBasicAsync or authenticateBasicPFAsync if you prefer to use the PartialFunction syntax.

See Credentials and password timing attacks for details about verifying the secret.

Warning

Make sure to use basic authentication only over SSL/TLS because credentials are transferred in plaintext.

Example

Scala

source`` val myUserPassAuthenticator: AuthenticatorPF[String] = { case p @ Credentials.Provided(id) if p.verify("p4ssw0rd") => id case p @ Credentials.Provided(id) if p.verify("p4ssw0rd-special") => s"$id-admin" }

val route = Route.seal { path("secured") { authenticateBasicPF(realm = "secure site", myUserPassAuthenticator) { userName => complete(s"The user is '$userName'") } } }

// tests: Get("/secured") ~> route ~> check { status shouldEqual StatusCodes.Unauthorized responseAs[String] shouldEqual "The resource requires authentication, which was not supplied with the request" header[WWW-Authenticate].get.challenges.head shouldEqual HttpChallenge("Basic", Some("secure site"), Map("charset" -> "UTF-8")) }

val validCredentials = BasicHttpCredentials("John", "p4ssw0rd") Get("/secured") ~> addCredentials(validCredentials) ~> // adds Authorization header route ~> check { responseAs[String] shouldEqual "The user is 'John'" }

val validAdminCredentials = BasicHttpCredentials("John", "p4ssw0rd-special") Get("/secured") ~> addCredentials(validAdminCredentials) ~> // adds Authorization header route ~> check { responseAs[String] shouldEqual "The user is 'John-admin'" }

val invalidCredentials = BasicHttpCredentials("Peter", "pan") Get("/secured") ~> addCredentials(invalidCredentials) ~> // adds Authorization header route ~> check { status shouldEqual StatusCodes.Unauthorized responseAs[String] shouldEqual "The supplied authentication is invalid" header[WWW-Authenticate].get.challenges.head shouldEqual HttpChallenge("Basic", Some("secure site"), Map("charset" -> "UTF-8")) } ``
