依瑪貓 5b255b6504 Split the Flask-Login login manager initialization from the init_app method to the __init_login_manager method in the DigestAuth class, to simplify the code.

docs Advanced to version 0.6.0. 2023-04-27 09:08:21 +08:00
src/flask_digest_auth Split the Flask-Login login manager initialization from the init_app method to the __init_login_manager method in the DigestAuth class, to simplify the code. 2023-04-29 11:17:11 +08:00
tests Replaced importing the "typing" module as "t" with importing the individual names in the "typing" module. We do not have as many names to import. This is also to be consistent with the practices of most major and standard packages and examples. 2023-04-27 09:08:10 +08:00
.gitignore Revised the order in .gitignore. 2022-11-29 20:32:25 +08:00
.readthedocs.yaml Updated the Python version in the Read the Docs configuration. 2023-04-27 09:09:00 +08:00
LICENSE Added LICENSE, MANIFEST.in, pyproject.toml, README.rst, and setup.cfg as the starting project skeleton. 2022-11-23 18:07:00 +11:00
MANIFEST.in Replaced setup.cfg with pyproject.toml for the package settings, and rewrote the packaging rules in MANIFEST.in. 2023-04-05 23:09:44 +08:00
pyproject.toml Updated minimal Python version to 3.8. As "typing.Literal" is used from the beginning of the project, it is never compatible with Python 3.7. I suppose it was ignored by Python 3.7 when importing the "typing" package but not the name "Literal" itself for type hints. 2023-04-26 23:30:27 +08:00
README.rst Simplified README.rst. 2023-04-23 22:43:56 +08:00

Flask HTTP Digest Authentication

Description

Flask-DigestAuth is an HTTP Digest Authentication implementation for Flask applications. It authenticates the user for the protected views.

HTTP Digest Authentication is specified in RFC 2617.

Why HTTP Digest Authentication?

HTTP Digest Authentication has the advantage that it does not send thee actual password to the server, which greatly enhances the security. It uses the challenge-response authentication scheme. The client returns the response calculated from the challenge and the password, but not the original password.

Log in forms has the advantage of freedom, in the senses of both the visual design and the actual implementation. You may implement your own challenge-response log in form, but then you are reinventing the wheels. If a pretty log in form is not critical to your project, HTTP Digest Authentication should be a good choice.

Flask-DigestAuth works with Flask-Login. Log in protection can be separated with the authentication mechanism. You can create protected Flask modules without knowing the actual authentication mechanisms.

Installation

You can install Flask-DigestAuth with pip:

pip install Flask-DigestAuth
