Configuration

By default the authentication settings are fetched from config/httpauth.php. Please make sure to set your own options.

If you are using Laravel 4, you can extract a configuration file to your app by running the following command:

$ php artisan config:publish intervention/httpauth

After you published the configuration file for the package you can edit the local configuration file app/config/packages/intervention/httpauth/httpauth.php.

Here's a short explanation of the configuration directives.

type string

Set the authentication type. Choose between `basic` and `digest` for a more secure type.

realm string

The name of the secure resource.

username string

The name the user has to enter to login

password string

Login password

Code example

// create a new instance of Httpauth and call secure method
$auth = new Intervention\Httpauth\Httpauth;
$auth->secure();

// You can change the user authentication settings in the config files
// or change it at runtime like this
$config = array('username' => 'admin', 'password' => '1234');
$auth = new Intervention\Httpauth\Httpauth($config);
$auth->secure();

Code example (Laravel)

// the most simple way to secure a url is to call the secure method from a route
Httpauth::secure();

// You can change the user authentication settings in the config files
// or change it at runtime like this
$config = array('username' => 'admin', 'password' => '1234');
Httpauth::make($config)->secure();
