HTTP Basic Endpoint Authentication

:pytardis.tardis_portal.auth.httpbasicendpoint_auth

HTTP Basic Endpoint authentication uses access to a HTTP resource (or endpoint) to determine if authentication should be allowed.

To use HTTP Basic Endpoint authentication, you'll need a HTTP resource protected by HTTP Basic Auth which is accessible from the MyTardis server.

In the settings.py add the following to AUTH_PROVIDERS with an appropriate name. eg.

AUTH_PROVIDERS = (
    ('acls', 'acls', 'tardis.tardis_portal.auth.httpbasicendpoint_auth.HttpBasicEndpointAuth'),
)

On each request, MyTardis will attempt to use basic authentication with the provided credentials to access the HTTP resource. If it fails, access is denied.

Endpoint to use in HTTP Basic Endpoint Auth. eg.

HTTP_BASIC_AUTH_ENDPOINT = 'https://test.example/endpoint'
