Writing an auth adapter is actually really easy |
| # |
Apr 21st 2017, 14:06 |
birdy247 |
cool |

I think Xety has a token auth plugin, and ADmad has JWT Auth, which do similar things |
| # |
Apr 21st 2017, 14:06 |
Neon1024 |
As we have extra fields in there which I’d rather not expose |
| # |
Apr 21st 2017, 14:06 |
birdy247 |
no probs |
| # |
Apr 21st 2017, 14:05 |
Neon1024 |
No, I can’t sorry |
| # |
Apr 21st 2017, 14:05 |
birdy247 |
care to share :) |
| # |
Apr 21st 2017, 14:05 |
Neon1024 |
Probably from ADmad :p |
| # |
Apr 21st 2017, 14:05 |

I have a TokenAuth class I stole from somewhere |
| # |
Apr 21st 2017, 14:05 |
birdy247 |
a custom authenticator? |
| # |
Apr 21st 2017, 14:05 |
birdy247 |
it* |
| # |
Apr 21st 2017, 14:04 |
birdy247 |
Where do you check is? |
| # |
Apr 21st 2017, 14:04 |
Neon1024 |
If you wanted to salt your token I guess |
| # |
Apr 21st 2017, 14:04 |
Neon1024 |
You could use Security::hash() |
| # |
Apr 21st 2017, 14:04 |
Neon1024 |
No, I used php’s sha256() method :p |
| # |
Apr 21st 2017, 14:03 |
Neon1024 |
Or you could generate one as ADmad suggested using JWT, if you wanted some stuff in the token |
| # |
Apr 21st 2017, 14:03 |
birdy247 |
Did you make the logic for this yourself |
| # |
Apr 21st 2017, 14:03 |
birdy247 |
and then it just checks this |
| # |
Apr 21st 2017, 14:03 |
Neon1024 |
Yep |
| # |
Apr 21st 2017, 14:03 |
birdy247 |
So the token is stored in my Apps DB? |
| # |
Apr 21st 2017, 14:03 |
Neon1024 |
We require a few other fields too with each request |
| # |
Apr 21st 2017, 14:03 |
Neon1024 |
Just pass a token in the header then :) |
| # |
Apr 21st 2017, 14:02 |
birdy247 |
neither |
| # |
Apr 21st 2017, 14:02 |
birdy247 |
Im just after something simple |
| # |
Apr 21st 2017, 14:02 |
Neon1024 |
Depends really, my stuff doesn’t need to be super duper secure |
| # |
Apr 21st 2017, 14:02 |
Neon1024 |
I just wanted to be able to expire a token after a few months, so if someone gave it away it could be changed without impacting the consuming client |
| # |
Apr 21st 2017, 14:01 |
Neon1024 |
But there is stuff like OAuth too, such as Facebook and Twitter etc |
| # |
Apr 21st 2017, 14:01 |
Neon1024 |
birdy247, Usually a header and token is pretty standard |
| # |
Apr 21st 2017, 14:00 |
Neon1024 |
I’d need to implement it in a branch really and see how I feel about it |
| # |
Apr 21st 2017, 14:00 |
Neon1024 |
To give them a token to use, which you can sign and expire |
| # |
Apr 21st 2017, 14:00 |
Neon1024 |
Yeah, but I thought that the token workflow meant you need an OAuth style auth process |
| # |
Apr 21st 2017, 14:00 |
birdy247 |
but what is generally considered a nice way of requiring authentication to use the API |
| # |
Apr 21st 2017, 13:59 |
admad |
jwt is just a fancier token :P |
| # |
Apr 21st 2017, 13:59 |
birdy247 |
I need to do a bit of research |
