## Default Auth service
By default, users are stored in json file. For some use-cases, this is 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 web 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 query:
```
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 sql 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 AuthInterface handler to reflect your database settings:
```
'Filegator\Services\Auth\AuthInterface' => [
'handler' => '\Filegator\Services\Auth\Adapters\Database',
'config' => [
'driver' => 'mysqli',
'host' => 'localhost',
'username' => 'root',
'password' => 'password',
'database' => 'filegator',
],
],
```
## Configuring Auth service to use WordPress
Replace your current Auth handler in `configuration.php` file like this:
```
'Filegator\Services\Auth\AuthInterface' => [
'handler' => '\Filegator\Services\Auth\Adapters\WPAuth',
'config' => [
'wp_dir' => '/var/www/my_wordpress_site/',
'permissions' => ['read', 'write', 'upload', 'download', 'batchdownload', 'zip'],
'private_repos' => false,
],
],
```
Adjust in the config above:
- `wp_dir` should be the directory path of your wordpress installation
- `permissions` is the array of permissions given to each user
- `private_repos` each user will have its own sub folder, admin will see everything (false/true)
Note: With more recent versions of FileGator you can set `guest_redirection` in your `configuration.php` to redirect logged-out users back to your WP site:
```
'frontend_config' => [
...
'guest_redirection' => 'http://example.com/wp-admin/',
...
]
```
## Custom Authentication using 3rd party
If you want to use FileGator as a part of another application, you probably already have users stored somewhere else. What you need in this case is to build a new custom Auth adapter that matches the [AuthInterface](https://github.com/filegator/filegator/blob/master/backend/Services/Auth/AuthInterface.php) to connect those two. This new adapter will try to authenticate users in your application and translate each user into filegator [User](https://github.com/filegator/filegator/blob/master/backend/Services/Auth/User.php) object.
## API authentication
Front-end will use session based authentication to authenticate and consume the back-end.
Note: The application will not work if you disable cookies.
