Synopsis

Documentation

basicAuth :: CheckCreds -> AuthSettings -> MiddlewareSource

Perform basic authentication.

 basicAuth (\u p -> return $ u == "michael" && p == "mypass") "My Realm"

Since 1.3.4

type CheckCreds = ByteString -> ByteString -> IO BoolSource

Check if a given username and password is valid.

data AuthSettings Source

Authentication settings. This value is an instance of IsString, so the recommended approach to create a value is to provide a string literal (which will be the realm) and then overriding individual fields.

 "My Realm" { authIsProtected = someFunc } :: AuthSettings

Since 1.3.4

authOnNoAuth :: AuthSettings -> ByteString -> ApplicationSource

Takes the realm and returns an appropriate 401 response when authentication is not provided.

Since 1.3.4

authIsProtected :: AuthSettings -> Request -> IO BoolSource

Determine if access to the requested resource is restricted.

Default: always returns True.

Since 1.3.4
