Simple HTTP Authentication Filter

HTTP authentication filter for Clyde API gateway, which allows to authenticate users both using basic and digest strategies.

Implementation is based on on passport-http module.

Installation

npm install clydeio-simple-http-auth --save

Configuration

Filter accepts the configuration properties:

  • realm: A string that identifies the authentication realm.
  • method: Indicates the authenticated method to be used. It is a required property. Allowed values are basic and digest.
  • consumers: An object with the list of user properties and password values.

Examples

Configured as global prefilter

All requests are authenticated using basic auth:

{
  "prefilters" : [
    {
      "id" : "basic-auth",
      "path" : "clydeio-simple-http-auth",
      "config" : {
        "realm" : "clyde",
        "method" : "basic",
        "consumers" : {
          "userA" : "passwordA",
          ...
        }
      }
    }
    ...
  ]
}

Configured as provider prefilter

Only the requests addresses to the provider are authenticated with digest method:

{
  "providers" : [
    {
      "id" : "some_provider",
      "context" : "/some_provider",
      "target" : "http://some_server",
      "prefilters" : [
        {
          "id" : "digest-auth",
          "path" : "clydeio-simple-http-auth",
          "config" : {
            "realm" : "clyde",
            "method" : "digest",
            "consumers" : {
              "userA" : "passwordA",
              ...
            }
          }
        }
    },
    ...
  ]
}

Notes

  • It has no sense configure an authentication filter as a global or provider's postfilter.
