API Authentication, part 2: implement authentication in API For authentication to succeed, the client have to send 3 custom HTTP headers: - X-Koha-Username: userid of borrower - X-Koha-Timestamp: timestamp of the request - X-Koha-Signature: signature of the request The signature is a HMAC-SHA256 hash of several elements of the request, separated by spaces: - HTTP method (uppercase) - URL path and query string - username - timestamp of the request The server then tries to rebuild the signature with each user's API key. If one matches the received X-Koha-Signature, then authentication is almost OK. To avoid requests to be replayed, the last request's timestamp is stored in database and the authentication succeeds only if the stored timestamp is lesser than X-Koha-Timestamp. This patch implements server-side authentication (in Koha/REST/V1.pm) There is also an "anonymous" mode if X-Koha-* headers are not set. Anonymous mode differ from authenticated mode in one thing: if user is authenticated, the corresponding Koha::Borrower object is stored in Mojolicious stash, so it can easily be retrieved by controllers. Controllers then have the responsability of what to do if user is authenticated or not. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. _______________________________________________ Koha-bugs mailing list Koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org http://lists.koha-community.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/koha-bugs website : http://www.koha-community.org/ git : http://git.koha-community.org/ bugs : http://bugs.koha-community.org/
