Warden::BasicAuth

Provides a Warden base strategy for basic auth.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'warden-basic_auth', '~> 0.1.0'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install warden-basic_auth

Usage

Subclasses must simply define the method #authenticate_user. The simplest possible implementation is the following example from the specs:

class TestBasicAuth < Warden::Strategies::BasicAuth
  def authenticate_user(username, password)
    username == 'admin' && password == 'adminadmin'
  end
end

You can register the strategy with Warden like this:

Warden::Strategies.add :basic_auth, TestBasicAuth
