Installing the AuthTrans() Example

To install the function on the Web Server, add the following Init directive to magnus.conf to load the compiled function:

Init fn=load-modules 
     shlib="path" 
     funcs=hardcoded-auth

Inside the default object in obj.conf, add the following AuthTrans directive:

AuthTrans fn=basic-auth 
          auth-type="basic" 
          userfn=hardcoded-auth
          userdb=unused

         

Note that this function does not actually enforce authorization requirements. It only takes given information and tells the server whether it is correct. The PathCheck function require-auth performs the enforcement. Therefore, add the following PathCheck directive:

PathCheck fn=require-auth 
          realm="test realm" 
          auth-type="basic"

The source code for this example is in the auth.c file in the install-dir/samples/nsapi/directory.
