Implements RFC 7804 Salted Challenge Response (SCRAM) HTTP Authentication Mechanism for the Flask web framework.

Project description

flask-scram

Implements RFC 7804 Salted Challenge Response (SCRAM) HTTP Authentication Mechanism for the Flask web framework.

See requests-scram for a client-side implementation.

Getting Started

Initialize the extension with the application or with init_app in an application factory, and then decorate your route with the login_required method:

from flask import Flask
from flask_scram import Scram


USERNAME = 'user'
PASSWORD = 'pass'

app = Flask(__name__)

db = {}

def auth_fn(username):
    return db[username]

scram = ScramAuth(app, auth_fn=auth_fn)

# or, later in your application factory: scram.init_app(app)

# store your authentication key in your "database"
db[USERNAME] = scram.make_auth_info(PASSWORD)


@app.route("/")
@scram.login_required
def index():
    return "OK"

You may specify the following configuration variables:

  • SCRAM_MECHANISM - supported SCRAM Authentication mechanism e.g. SCRAM-SHA-256
  • SCRAM_REALM - the realm parameter to use e.g. defaults to request.host

You may also use the authenticate method in your code or before request handler.

See scramp for examples of the make_auth_info and make_stored_server_keys functions which the same methods implement.
