2018-07-15auth-filters: generate secret securelyJason A. Donenfeld
This is much better than having the user generate it themselves. Signed-off-by: Jason A. Donenfeld <Jason@zx2c4.com>
2018-07-14auth-filters: do not use HMAC-SHA1Jason A. Donenfeld
Though SHA1 is broken, HMAC-SHA1 is still fine. But let's not push our luck; SHA256 is more sensible anyway. Signed-off-by: Jason A. Donenfeld <Jason@zx2c4.com>

2014-01-16auth: have cgit calculate login addressJason A. Donenfeld
This way we're sure to use virtual root, or any other strangeness encountered. Signed-off-by: Jason A. Donenfeld <Jason@zx2c4.com>
2014-01-16auth: lua string comparisons are time invariantJason A. Donenfeld
By default, strings are compared by hash, so we can remove this comment. Signed-off-by: Jason A. Donenfeld <Jason@zx2c4.com>
2014-01-16authentication: use hidden form instead of refererJason A. Donenfeld
This also gives us some CSRF protection. Note that we make use of the hmac to protect the redirect value. Signed-off-by: Jason A. Donenfeld <Jason@zx2c4.com>
2014-01-16auth: add basic authentication filter frameworkJason A. Donenfeld
This leverages the new lua support. See filters/simple-authentication.lua for explaination of how this works. There is also additional documentation in cgitrc.5.txt. Though this is a cookie-based approach, cgit's caching mechanism is preserved for authenticated pages. Very plugable and extendable depending on user needs. The sample script uses an HMAC-SHA1 based cookie to store the currently logged in user, with an expiration date. Signed-off-by: Jason A. Donenfeld <Jason@zx2c4.com>
