amps-blog-easy-http-auth

This repository contains artifacts for the 2018 blog article on easy HTTP authentication and entitlements.

This is a simple project that demonstrates how to use AMPS with the libamps_http_entitlement module in order to provide authentication and/or entitlements via web service.

A detailed description of the libamps_http_entitlement module is available here: http://devnull.crankuptheamps.com/documentation/html/5.2.0.0/user-guide/html/chapters/auxiliary_modules.html#configuring-amps-to-use-web-service-authentication-and-entitlements

Requirements

• Python 2.7 or higher

Quick Start

• Start the AMPS Server using the configuration file:

  <PATH_TO_AMPS_BINARY>/ampServer config.xml

• Start the Python Flask application (in the auth directory):
