authsolo

Authsolo is a user-less authentication middleware. It provides basic auth flow for your application, and is compatible with the standard net/http Handler.

There are no users, sessions or JWT involved. With Authsolo you authenticate with just one password.

Install

go get github.com/tunedmystic/authsolo

Usage

Using the middleware is simple.

1. First create the middleware with the master password

auth := authsolo.New("mypassword")

1. Then, wrap your handler functions you want protected with .Solo method.

r.HandleFunc("/admin", auth.Solo(handleAdmin))

1. Lastly, wrap the router with .Handler. method This will inject authsolo's custom login and logout handlers.

http.ListenAndServe(":8000", auth.Handler(r))

Example

A simple example using the Authsolo middleware.

// main.go
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"net/http"

	"github.com/tunedmystic/authsolo"
)

func handleIndex(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
	fmt.Fprintf(w, "the index page")
}

func handleAccount(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
	fmt.Fprintf(w, "the account page")
}

func main() {
	r := http.NewServeMux()
	auth := authsolo.New("mypassword") // 1. create middleware

	r.HandleFunc("/", handleIndex)
	r.HandleFunc("/account", auth.Solo(handleAccount)) // 2. protect handlers

	http.ListenAndServe(":8000", auth.Handler(r)) // 3. inject internal handlers
}
