This backend can be used to delegate authentication to some webservices.
In Manager, go in General Parameters > Authentication modules and choose REST for authentication, users and/or password modules.
Then you just have to set REST URL to provide wanted services:
| Module | Parameter |
|---|---|
| Authentication | Authentication URL |
| User database | User data URL |
| Password | Password confirmation URL |
| Password | Password change URL |
REST web services just have to respond with a “result” key in a JSON file. Auth/UserDB can add a “info” array to will be copied is session data (without reading “Exported variables”).
| Parameter | Query | Response |
|---|---|---|
| Authentication URL | JSON file: {“user”:$user,“password”:$password} | JSON file: {“result”:true/false,“info”:{…}} |
| User data URL | JSON file: {“user”:$user} | JSON file: {“result”:true/false,“info”:{“uid”:“dwho”,…}} |
| Password confirmation URL | JSON file: {“user”:$user,“password”:$password} | JSON file: {“result”:true/false} |
| Password change URL | JSON file: {“user”:$user,“password”:$password} | JSON file: {“result”:true/false} |
