DESCRIPTION:

Gem provides common authentication framework for Wikarekare’s Ruby CGIs.

FEATURES/PROBLEMS:

  • In process of conversion from a library to a gem, and refactored to be more generic. Needs some real world testing.

SYNOPSIS:

Redirect to login scenario

  • Logic flows from clients to the cgi;
  • generating a login html page;
  • client logs in, sending the form to the login.rbx Ruby cgi;
  • If successful, the login.rbx cgi sends back a redirect to the original cgi.

Javascript Scenario, with separation of function.

  • A separate login button is included on the HTML page, which uses the wikk_auth_js library ``` ... ... ... ```
  • The cgi simple calls the class level WIKK::Web_Auth.authenticate? call, for a true/false response. require 'wikk_web_auth' @authenticated = Authenticated.authenticated?(@cgi)

REQUIREMENTS:

  • Used in conjunction with Ruby cgi login.rbx
  • relies on gems wikk_password
  • Could make use of wikk_configuration and wikk_aes_256

INSTALL:

  • sudo gem install wikk_web_auth
