Flask HTTP Digest Authentication
Description
Flask-Digest-Auth is an HTTP Digest Authentication implementation
for Flask applications. It authenticates the user for the protected
views. It works with Flask-Login, so that log in protection can be
separated with the authentication mechanism. You can write Flask
modules that work with different authentication mechanisms.
Installation
It's suggested that you install with pip:
pip install flask-digest-auth
You may also install the latest source from the
flask-digest-auth Github repository.
git clone git@github.com:imacat/flask-digest-auth.git
cd flask-digest-auth
pip install .
Flask-Digest-Auth Alone
Flask-Digest-Auth can authenticate the users alone.
Example for Simple Applications with Flask-Digest-Auth Alone
In your my_app.py:
from flask import Flask
from flask_digest_auth import DigestAuth
app: flask = Flask(__name__)
... (Configure the Flask application) ...
auth: DigestAuth = DigestAuth(realm="Admin")
@auth.register_get_password
def get_password_hash(username: str) -> t.Optional[str]:
... (Load the password hash) ...
@auth.register_get_user
def get_user(username: str) -> t.Optional[t.Any]:
... (Load the user) ...
@app.get("/admin")
@auth.login_required
def admin():
... (Process the view) ...
Example for Larger Applications with create_app() with Flask-Digest-Auth Alone
In your my_app/__init__.py:
::
from flask import Flask
from flask_digest_auth import DigestAuth
auth: DigestAuth = DigestAuth()
def create_app(test_config = None) -> Flask:
app: flask = Flask(__name__)
... (Configure the Flask application) ...
auth.realm = app.config["REALM"]
@auth.register_get_password
def get_password_hash(username: str) -> t.Optional[str]:
... (Load the password hash) ...
@auth.register_get_user
def get_user(username: str) -> t.Optional[t.Any]:
... (Load the user) ...
return app
In your my_app/views.py:
from my_app import auth
from flask import Flask, Blueprint
bp = Blueprint("admin", __name__, url_prefix="/admin")
@bp.get("/")
@auth.login_required
def admin():
... (Process the view) ...
def init_app(app: Flask) -> None:
app.register_blueprint(bp)
Flask-Login Integration
Flask-Digest-Auth can work with Flask-Login. You can write a Flask
module that requires log in, without specifying the authentication
mechanism. The Flask application can specify the actual
authentication mechanism as it sees fit.
Example for Simple Applications with Flask-Login Integration
In your my_app.py:
from flask import Flask
from flask_digest_auth import DigestAuth
from flask_login import LoginManager
app: flask = Flask(__name__)
... (Configure the Flask application) ...
login_manager: LoginManager = LoginManager()
login_manager.init_app(app)
@login_manager.user_loader
def load_user(user_id: str) -> t.Optional[User]:
... (Load the user with the username) ...
auth: DigestAuth = DigestAuth(realm="Admin")
auth.init_app(app)
@auth.register_get_password
def get_password_hash(username: str) -> t.Optional[str]:
... (Load the password hash) ...
@app.get("/admin")
@login_manager.login_required
def admin():
... (Process the view) ...
Example for Larger Applications with create_app() with Flask-Login Integration
In your my_app/__init__.py:
::
from flask import Flask
from flask_digest_auth import DigestAuth
from flask_login import LoginManager
def create_app(test_config = None) -> Flask:
app: flask = Flask(__name__)
... (Configure the Flask application) ...
login_manager: LoginManager = LoginManager()
login_manager.init_app(app)
@login_manager.user_loader
def load_user(user_id: str) -> t.Optional[User]:
... (Load the user with the username) ...
auth: DigestAuth = DigestAuth(realm=app.config["REALM"])
auth.init_app(app)
@auth.register_get_password
def get_password_hash(username: str) -> t.Optional[str]:
... (Load the password hash) ...
return app
In your my_app/views.py:
import flask_login
from flask import Flask, Blueprint
bp = Blueprint("admin", __name__, url_prefix="/admin")
@bp.get("/")
@flask_login.login_required
def admin():
... (Process the view) ...
def init_app(app: Flask) -> None:
app.register_blueprint(bp)
The views only depend on Flask-Login, but not its underlying
authentication mechanism. You can always change the
authentication mechanism without changing the views, or release a
protected Flask module without specifying the authentication
mechanism.
Writing Tests
You can write tests with our test client that handles HTTP Digest
Authentication. Example for a unittest testcase:
from flask_digest_auth import Client
from flask_testing import TestCase
from my_app import create_app
class MyTestCase(TestCase):
def create_app(self):
app: Flask = create_app({
"SECRET_KEY": token_urlsafe(32),
"TESTING": True
})
app.test_client_class = Client
return app
def test_admin(self):
response = self.client.get("/admin")
self.assertEqual(response.status_code, 401)
response = self.client.get(
"/admin", digest_auth=("my_name", "my_pass"))
self.assertEqual(response.status_code, 200)
