wsgi-basic-auth 1.1.0

Getting started

Using this module is really simple. In Django for example edit the wsgi.py file and add the following to the end of the file.

from wsgi_basic_auth import BasicAuth
application = BasicAuth(application)

Now run docker with the env variable WSGI_AUTH_CREDENTIALS=foo:bar and you have to authenticate with username foo and password bar. Multiple credentials are separated with a | (pipe) character.

To exclude specific paths for healthchecks (e.g. the Amazon ELB healthchecks) specify the environment variable WSGI_AUTH_EXCLUDE_PATHS=/api/healthchecks. Here multiple paths can be separated with the ; char.

To include only specific paths specify the environment variable WSGI_AUTH_EXCLUDE_PATHS. Here multiple paths can be separated with the ; char.

You can use both include and exclude paths together for example: WSGI_AUTH_PATHS=/foo WSGI_AUTH_EXCLUDE_PATHS=/foo/bar This will force Basic Auth on all paths under /foo except /foo/bar
