Description

SoupAuthDomainDigest handles the server side of HTTP "Digest" authentication.

Functions

soup_auth_domain_digest_new ()

SoupAuthDomain *
soup_auth_domain_digest_new (const char *optname1,
                             ...);

Creates a SoupAuthDomainDigest. You must set the SOUP_AUTH_DOMAIN_REALM parameter, to indicate the realm name to be returned with the authentication challenge to the client. Other parameters are optional.

Parameters

optname1

name of first option, or NULL

 

...

option name/value pairs

 

Returns

the new SoupAuthDomain


SoupAuthDomainDigestAuthCallback ()

char *
(*SoupAuthDomainDigestAuthCallback) (SoupAuthDomain *domain,
                                     SoupMessage *msg,
                                     const char *username,
                                     gpointer user_data);

Callback used by SoupAuthDomainDigest for authentication purposes. The application should look up username in its password database, and return the corresponding encoded password (see soup_auth_domain_digest_encode_password()).

Parameters

domain

the domain

 

msg

the message being authenticated

 

username

the username provided by the client

 

user_data

the data passed to soup_auth_domain_digest_set_auth_callback()

 

Returns

the encoded password, or NULL if username is not a valid user. domain will free the password when it is done with it.

[nullable]


soup_auth_domain_digest_set_auth_callback ()

void
soup_auth_domain_digest_set_auth_callback
                               (SoupAuthDomain *domain,
                                SoupAuthDomainDigestAuthCallback callback,
                                gpointer user_data,
                                GDestroyNotify dnotify);

Sets the callback that domain will use to authenticate incoming requests. For each request containing authorization, domain will invoke the callback, and then either accept or reject the request based on callback 's return value.

You can also set the auth callback by setting the SOUP_AUTH_DOMAIN_DIGEST_AUTH_CALLBACK and SOUP_AUTH_DOMAIN_DIGEST_AUTH_DATA properties, which can also be used to set the callback at construct time.

Parameters

domain

the domain

 

callback

the callback

 

user_data

data to pass to auth_callback

 

dnotify

destroy notifier to free user_data when domain is destroyed

 

soup_auth_domain_digest_encode_password ()

char *
soup_auth_domain_digest_encode_password
                               (const char *username,
                                const char *realm,
                                const char *password);

Encodes the username/realm/password triplet for Digest authentication. (That is, it returns a stringified MD5 hash of username , realm , and password concatenated together). This is the form that is needed as the return value of SoupAuthDomainDigest's auth handler.

For security reasons, you should store the encoded hash, rather than storing the cleartext password itself and calling this method only when you need to verify it. This way, if your server is compromised, the attackers will not gain access to cleartext passwords which might also be usable at other sites. (Note also that the encoded password returned by this method is identical to the encoded password stored in an Apache .htdigest file.)

Parameters

username

a username

 

realm

an auth realm name

 

password

the password for username in realm

 

Returns

the encoded password
