Functions

authenticate

fun Route.authenticate(vararg configurations: String? = arrayOf<String?>(null), strategy: AuthenticationStrategy, build: Route.() -> Unit): Route

fun Route.authenticate(vararg configurations: String? = arrayOf<String?>(null), optional: Boolean = false, build: Route.() -> Unit): Route

Creates a route that allows you to define authorization scope for application resources. This function accepts names of authentication providers defined in the Authentication plugin configuration.

authentication

fun Application.authentication(block: AuthenticationConfig.() -> Unit)

Installs the Authentication plugin if not yet installed and invokes block on its config. You can modify the existing authentication configuration only in the authentication's block or using the Authentication.configure function. Changing captured instance of configuration outside of block may have no effect or damage application's state.

basic

fun AuthenticationConfig.basic(name: String? = null, configure: BasicAuthenticationProvider.Config.() -> Unit)

Installs the basic Authentication provider. You can use basic authentication for logging in users and protecting specific routes. To learn how to configure it, see Basic authentication.

basicAuthenticationCredentials

fun ApplicationRequest.basicAuthenticationCredentials(charset: Charset? = null): UserPasswordCredential?

Retrieves basic authentication credentials for this ApplicationRequest.

bearer

fun AuthenticationConfig.bearer(name: String? = null, configure: BearerAuthenticationProvider.Config.() -> Unit)

Installs the Bearer Authentication provider. Bearer auth requires the developer to provide a custom 'authenticate' function to authorize the token, and return the associated principal.

digest

fun <Error class: unknown class>.digest(name: String? = null, configure: DigestAuthenticationProvider.Config.() -> Unit)

Installs the digest Authentication provider. To learn how to configure it, see Digest authentication.

oauth

fun AuthenticationConfig.oauth(name: String? = null, configure: OAuthAuthenticationProvider.Config.() -> Unit)

Installs the OAuth Authentication provider. OAuth can be used to authorize users of your application by using external providers, such as Google, Facebook, Twitter, and so on. To learn how to configure it, see OAuth.
