Types

type Authenticator

type Authenticator struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Authenticator uses basic auth to make a request to a JSON-returning URL. A 401 status indicate failed auth. A non-200 status or the presence of an "error" key with a non-empty

value indicates an error:
{"error":"Error message"}

A 200 status with an "id" key indicates success:

{"id":"userid"}

A successful response may also include name and/or email:

{"id":"userid", "name": "User Name", "email":"user@example.com"}

func (*Authenticator) AuthenticatePassword

func (a *Authenticator) AuthenticatePassword(username, password string) (user.Info, bool, error)

type RemoteError

type RemoteError struct {
	Error string
}

RemoteError holds error data returned from a remote authentication request

type RemoteUserData

type RemoteUserData struct {
	// ID is the immutable identity of the user
	ID string
	// Login is the optional login of the user
	// Useful when the id is different than the username/login used by the user to authenticate
	Login string
	// Name is the optional display name of the user
	Name string
	// Email is the optional email address of the user
	Email string
}

RemoteUserData holds user data returned from a remote basic-auth protected endpoint. These field names can not be changed unless external integrators are also updated.
