Adds stateless basic authentication support
npm install generator-jhipster-basic-authThis is a JHipster module, that is meant to be used in a JHipster application.
This module configures stateless basic auth security on the path ``/api_basic/**` that is used in parallel of the existing security.
Before using this module, you should be aware of the security implications : the user/password will be sent on each request so an HTTPS/TLS reverse proxy shall be used in production for this path.
Also if your API is to be consumed by both web and non-web applications, you should consider using OAuth2 mechanism as it gives you more control on which application uses your API and it is fully supported by JHipster.
As this is a JHipster module, we expect you have JHipster and its related tools already installed:
To install this module:
`bash`
npm install -g generator-jhipster-basic-auth
To update this module:
`bash`
npm update -g generator-jhipster-basic-auth
Run the module on a JHipster generated application:
`
yo jhipster-basic-auth
Options :
* --force` if you don't want questions to be asked.`
* --clean` to uninstall the module instead of installing.
This will configure basic auth security on path `/api_basic/**`. Existing entity resources will be added to this path (eg. `GET /api_basic/foos`).
You can now easily use curl to test your endpoints:
`
curl -X GET "http://admin:admin@localhost:8080/api_basic/foos"
