Htgroup
accesses apache-compatible group files. Htgroup
can be used to provide group-based authentication for users. Currently Htgroup
is not directly integrated with any authenticators in WEBrick
. For security, the path for a digest password database should be stored outside of the paths available to the HTTP server.
Example:
htgroup = WEBrick::HTTPAuth::Htgroup.new 'my_group_file' htgroup.add 'superheroes', %w[spiderman batman] htgroup.members('superheroes').include? 'magneto' # => false
Add an Array of members
to group
# File webrick/httpauth/htgroup.rb, line 89 def add(group, members) @group[group] = members(group) | members end
Flush the group database. If output
is given the database will be written there instead of to the original path.
# File webrick/httpauth/htgroup.rb, line 64 def flush(output=nil) output ||= @path tmp = Tempfile.new("htgroup", File::dirname(output)) begin @group.keys.sort.each{|group| tmp.puts(format("%s: %s", group, self.members(group).join(" "))) } tmp.close File::rename(tmp.path, output) rescue tmp.close(true) end end
Retrieve the list of members from group
# File webrick/httpauth/htgroup.rb, line 81 def members(group) reload @group[group] || [] end
Reload groups from the database
# File webrick/httpauth/htgroup.rb, line 46 def reload if (mtime = File::mtime(@path)) > @mtime @group.clear File.open(@path){|io| while line = io.gets line.chomp! group, members = line.split(/:\s*/) @group[group] = members.split(/\s+/) end } @mtime = mtime end end
