Enable Basic authentication

Enable Basic authentication for your Quarkus project and allow users to authenticate with a username and password.

先决条件

The following procedure outlines how you can enable Basic authentication for your application by using the elytron-security-properties-file extension.

Procedure

  1. In the application.properties file, set the quarkus.http.auth.basic property to true.

    quarkus.http.auth.basic=true
  2. Optional: In a non-production environment only and purely for testing Quarkus Security in your applications:

    1. To enable authentication for the embedded realm, set the quarkus.security.users.embedded.enabled property to true.

      quarkus.security.users.embedded.enabled=true
    2. You can also configure the required user credentials, user name, secret, and roles. For example:

      quarkus.http.auth.basic=true
      quarkus.security.users.embedded.enabled=true
      quarkus.security.users.embedded.plain-text=true
      quarkus.security.users.embedded.users.alice=alice (1)
      quarkus.security.users.embedded.users.bob=bob (2)
      quarkus.security.users.embedded.roles.alice=admin (1)
      quarkus.security.users.embedded.roles.bob=user (2)
      1 The user, alice, has alice as their password and admin as their role.
      2 The user, bob, has bob as their password and user as their role.

      For information about other methods that you can use to configure the required user credentials, see the Configuring User Information section of the Quarkus "Security Testing" guide.

      Configuring user names, secrets, and roles in the application.properties file is appropriate only for testing scenarios. For securing a production application, it is crucial to use a database to store this information.
