WEB2PY CAS with basic auth

[Muhammad Bilal]

Hi Massimo

I am developing a project where I have two web2py applications App A is provider and App B is consumer.

So I have setup CAS in consumer and it is working fine for normal browser stuff.

But when I am trying to use basic auth with restful api then I always get Not Authorized. If I remove CAS it starts working but with CAS it is not.

Can you tell me is there any way to use basic login with CAS?

Thanks and Regards

This is probably a bug. Can I open an issue so it will be tracked? Can you also provide a simple code example that does not work?

I am having the same issue here on version 2.16.1. Basic example would be

auth = Auth(db, cas_provider='/central/default/user/cas')
auth.settings.allow_basic_login = True

@auth.requires_login()
def default():
    return dict()

@massimo did you create a bug? Can't find it on github.

cas_provider value should be using the url

1. auth = Auth(db,cas_provider = 'http://applocal/main/default/user/cas')

Sorry yeah I truncated the URL in this message for privacy. In fact it does look like this

auth = Auth(db, cas_provider='https:/example.com/central/default/user/cas')

auth.settings.allow_basic_login = True


@auth.requires_login()
def default():
    return dict()

CAS is working as expected. The only problem we have is that it does not work for basic auth.

Best regards

I have filed an issue for this: https://github.com/web2py/web2py/issues/1938

Maybe someone can point me in the right direction how it could be fixed.
