HTTP Basic Authentication Stack Middleware

A Stack middleware to enable HTTP Basic Authentication following the STACK-2 Authentication conventions.

Installation

Through Composer as dflydev/stack-basic-authentication.

Usage

The BasicAuthentication middleware accepts the following options:

• authenticator: (required) A callback used to ensure that the specified credentials are correct.
• realm: The HTTP Basic Authentication realm as defined by RFC1945.
• firewall: A firewall configuration compatible with dflydev/stack-firewall.

<?php

$authenticator = function ($username, $password) {
    // Given a username and password credentials, ensure that
    // the credentials are correct and return a token that
    // represents the user for this request.
    if ('admin' === $username && 'default' === $password) {
        return 'admin-user-token';
    }
};

$app = new Dflydev\Stack\BasicAuthentication($app, [
    'firewall' => [
        ['path' => '/', 'anonymous' => true],
        ['path' => '/login'],
    ],
    'authenticator' => $authenticator,
    'realm' => 'here there be dragons',
]);
