Have you seen the complete list of directives? There's many directives with "Async" that means that they work on Futures.

There are two header-based mechanisms, one uses a user/pass header pair and the other uses a session header. I'm struggling to figure out how to combine all three authentication mechanisms so that I have one directive that provides the authenticated user id on success and a rejection otherwise. I can extract the headers fine with headerValueByName() but I need to do the authentication check asynchronously with a Future as it might block. I can't find any directives that look like they take a Future, are there any? The skeleton I have so far is: authenticateBasic(null, authenticate) { user => complete(s"Basic: $user") } ~ (headerValueByName("X-Auth-User") & headerValueByName("X-Auth-Key")) { (user, pass) => complete(s"X-Auth: $user") } ~ headerValueByName("X-Auth-Session") { session => complete(s"Session: $session") What's missing for the second two is the actual validation of the user/pass or token.
