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
You may also install the latest source from the
Flask-DigestAuth GitHub repository.
pip install git+https://github.com/imacat/flask-digestauth.git
