authenticateBasicAsync
|
|
======================
|
|
Wraps the inner route with Http Basic authentication support using a given ``AsyncAuthenticator<T>``.
|
|
|
|
Description
|
|
-----------
|
|
This variant of the :ref:`-authenticateBasic-java-` directive returns a ``Future<Optional<T>>`` which allows freeing up the routing
|
|
layer of Akka HTTP, freeing it for other requests. It should be used whenever an authentication is expected to take
|
|
a longer amount of time (e.g. looking up the user in a database).
|
|
|
|
In case the returned option is an empty ``Optional`` the request is rejected with a :class:`AuthenticationFailedRejection`,
|
|
which by default is mapped to an ``401 Unauthorized`` response.
|
|
|
|
Standard HTTP-based authentication which uses the ``WWW-Authenticate`` header containing challenge data and
|
|
``Authorization`` header for receiving credentials is implemented in subclasses of ``HttpAuthenticator``.
|
|
|
|
See :ref:`credentials-and-timing-attacks-java` for details about verifying the secret.
|
|
|
|
.. warning::
|
|
Make sure to use basic authentication only over SSL/TLS because credentials are transferred in plaintext.
