Role-based authorization in Ktor

This repository contains a demo application showing a possible way to implement role-based authorization of routes in Ktor.

More information on its design can be found in this accompanying blog post.

Running from IntelliJ IDEA

Run the main method on line 16 in Application.kt

Running from maven

Compile and package the JAR file and run it:

mvn package
cd target

In either case, the application should be accessible at http://localhost:8080

When asked to log in, any username will do. The password is always secret.
