Default Auth service

By default, users are stored in json file. For some use-cases, this is more than enough. It also makes this app lightweight since no database is required.

Default handler accepts only file name parameter. This file should be writable by the server.

        'Filegator\Services\Auth\AuthInterface' => [
            'handler' => '\Filegator\Services\Auth\Adapters\JsonFile',
            'config' => [
                'file' => __DIR__.'/private/users.json',
            ],
        ],

Configuring Auth service to use database

You can use mysql database to store your users.

First, create a table users with this sql:

CREATE TABLE `users` (
    `id` int(10) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
    `username` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
    `name` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
    `role` varchar(20) NOT NULL,
    `permissions` varchar(200) NOT NULL,
    `homedir` varchar(2000) NOT NULL,
    `password` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
    PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
    KEY `username` (`username`)
) CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_bin;

Then, import default users with this query:

INSERT INTO `users` (`username`, `name`, `role`, `permissions`, `homedir`, `password`)
VALUES
('guest', 'Guest', 'guest', '', '/', ''),
('admin', 'Admin', 'admin', 'read|write|upload|download|batchdownload|zip', '/', '$2y$10$Nu35w4pteLfc7BDCIkDPkecjw8wsH8Y2GMfIewUbXLT7zzW6WOxwq');

At the end, open configuration.php and update Auth handler under section services to something like this:

        'Filegator\Services\Auth\AuthInterface' => [
            'handler' => '\Filegator\Services\Auth\Adapters\Database',
            'config' => [
                'driver' => 'mysqli',
                'host' => 'localhost',
                'username' => 'root',
                'password' => 'password',
                'database' => 'filegator',
            ],
        ],

Don't forget to enter correct mysql username, password, and database.
