Hi all, I'm implementing api for my application. I've written other controller functions. However I need implement the authentication. I am not able to find a way to use the default Auth(). I thought of the below option:
at client (i.e: calling applications) - encode userid & password - pass it as part of http basic auth header - if authenticated proceed further at server (ie my application) - read uid & pwd from headers - authenticate with the user table - if authenticated, let the application to proceed does this look okay approach? Is there a better way? Considering that this is okay, I've figured out how to do all the steps except reading http headers (step 1 at server). Can someone throw some light?
