Basically here's what I want to accomplish:
1. I want the user to login through a simple form on /index.html -
this is the only unprotected page on the site. User does not have a
user name, the only field is a password.
2. I want to store the user role (along with some other state data) in
the user session
3. If user tries to access any page other than index.html, I want to
redirect to /index.html
After stumbling for a while due to scarcity of documentation, I have
done the following:
In Boot.scala:
LiftRules.httpAuthProtectedResource.prepend {
case ParsePath("index" :: Nil, "html", true, false) =>
Empty
case _ => Full(AuthRole("admin"))
}
LiftRules.authentication = SessionAuthentication()
InSessionAuthentication.scala:
case class SessionAuthentication extends HttpAuthentication {
def verified_? = { case(req) => {
// TODO: Prefetch from DB here
true
}
}
}
It is my understanding that this should not ask for auth at all. In
reality, it doesn't ask for auth on /index.html, but DOES ask for
Basic auth (through a browser popup) on any other page.
What am I doing wrong, and how do I make it right?
