Class HttpDigestAuthenticator

HttpDigest Authenticator

Provides Digest HTTP authentication support.

Generating passwords compatible with Digest authentication.

DigestAuthenticate requires a special password hash that conforms to RFC2617. You can generate this password using HttpDigestAuthenticate::password()

$digestPass = HttpDigestAuthenticator::password($username, $password, env('SERVER_NAME'));

If you wish to use digest authentication alongside other authentication methods, it's recommended that you store the digest authentication separately. For example User.digest_pass could be used for a digest password, while User.password would store the password hash for use with other methods like BasicHttp or Form.

Namespace: Authentication\Authenticator

Method Detail

__construct() ¶ public

__construct(Authentication\Identifier\IdentifierInterface $identifier, array $config = [])

Constructor

Besides the keys specified in AbstractAuthenticator::$_defaultConfig, HttpDigestAuthenticate uses the following extra keys:

qop Defaults to 'auth', no other values are supported at this time.
opaque A string that must be returned unchanged by clients. Defaults to md5($config['realm'])

Returns

Authentication\Authenticator\ResultInterface

configShallow() ¶ public

configShallow(array<string, mixed>|string $key, mixed|null $value = null): $this

Merge provided config with existing config. Unlike config() which does a recursive merge for nested keys, this method does a simple merge.

Setting a specific value:

$this->configShallow('key', $value);

Setting a nested value:

$this->configShallow('some.nested.key', $value);

Updating multiple config settings at the same time:

$this->configShallow(['one' => 'value', 'another' => 'value']);

Parameters

array<string, mixed>|string $key: The key to set, or a complete array of configs.
mixed|null $value optional: The value to set.

Returns

$this

generateNonce(): string

Generate a nonce value that is validated in future requests.

Returns

string

generateResponseHash() ¶ public

Parameters

string[] $digest: Digest information containing data from HttpDigestAuthenticate::parseAuthData().
string $password: The digest hash password generated with HttpDigestAuthenticate::password()
string $method: Request method

Returns

string

getConfig() ¶ public

getConfig(string|null $key = null, mixed $default = null): mixed
