# lws minimal http server basic auth
|
|
|
|
This demonstrates how to protect a mount using a password
|
|
file outside of the mount itself.
|
|
|
|
The demo has two mounts, a normal one at / and one protected
|
|
by basic auth at /secret.
|
|
|
|
The file at ./ba-passwords contains valid user:password
|
|
combinations.
|
|
|
|
## Discovering the authenticated user
|
|
|
|
After a successful authentication, the `WSI_TOKEN_HTTP_AUTHORIZATION` token
|
|
contains the authenticated username.
|
|
|
|
## build
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ cmake . && make
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## usage
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ ./lws-minimal-http-server-basic-auth
