HTPassWD Authorizer

The htpasswd authorizer is a simple user-password matcher. It reads its configuration from a htpasswd formatted file.

Example

handler := midgard.StackMiddlewareHandler(
    []defs.Middleware{
        util.Must(New(
            WithAuthenticator(util.Must(
                htpasswd_auth.New(htpasswd_auth.WithAuthFile('./testwd')))),
            WithRealm("testrealm"))),
    },
    http.HandlerFunc(util.DummyHandler),
)

Be aware that having password hashes accessible to the program potentially exposes them to attackers. Use strong hashing like bcrypt to counteract brute force attacks on the hashes or rainbow tables.
