HTTP Basic Auth Guard is a Lumen Package that lets you use
basic
as your driver for the authentication guard in your application.
The Guard brings back the missing stateless HTTP Basic Authentication possibilities for Lumen >=5.2.
As of Lumen 5.2 the session storage is not included anymore.
Unfortunately, for calling Auth::onceBasic()
, Auth::basic()
, or alike
you'll need the session
driver which requires the session storage.
Therefore HTTP Basic Authentication does not work out-of-the-box anymore for Lumen >=5.2
.
To be honest, I have no idea why Taylor Otwell removed this functionality from Lumen 5.2.
My best guess is, that he doesn't even know since my issue got closed instantly on github ๐
Luckily, this package brings the usual functionality back!

Important:
Before using Lumen's authentication features, you should uncomment the call to register the
AuthServiceProvider
service provider in yourbootstrap/app.php
file.
// bootstrap/app.php
// Uncomment the following line
$app->register(App\Providers\AuthServiceProvider::class);
Of course, any routes you wish to authenticate should be assigned the auth middleware, so you should uncomment the call to $app->routeMiddleware() in your bootstrap/app.php file:
// bootstrap/app.php
// Uncomment the following lines
$app->routeMiddleware([
'auth' => App\Http\Middleware\Authenticate::class,
]);
If you would like to use
Auth::user()
to access the currently authenticated user, you should uncomment the$app->withFacades()
method in yourbootstrap/app.php
file.
// bootstrap/app.php
// Uncomment the following lines
$app->withFacades();
$app->withEloquent();
Open bootstrap/app.php
and register the service provider:
// bootstrap/app.php
// Add the following line
$app->register(Arubacao\BasicAuth\BasicGuardServiceProvider::class);
Note: In Lumen you first have to copy the config file from the directory
vendor/laravel/lumen-framework/config/auth.php
, create aconfig
folder in your root folder and finally paste the copied file there.
$ mkdir config
$ cp vendor/laravel/lumen-framework/config/auth.php config/
Open your config/auth.php
config file.
In guards
add a new key of your choice (api
in this example).
Add basic
as the driver.
Make sure you also set provider
for the guard to communicate with your database.
// config/auth.php
'guards' => [
'api' => [
'driver' => 'basic',
'provider' => 'users'
],
// ...
],
'providers' => [
'users' => [
'driver' => 'eloquent',
'model' => App\User::class,
],
],
Middleware protecting the route:
Route::get('api/whatever', ['middleware' => 'auth:api', 'uses' => 'NiceController@awesome']);
Middleware protecting the controller:
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
class NiceController extends Controller
{
public function __construct()
{
$this->middleware('auth:api');
}
}
