Description

The basic authorization plugin performs a BASIC authorization check to ensure that only authorized users are allowed access to your blog.

Availability

This plugin is available as of blojsom 2.23.

Installation and Setup

In your global /WEB-INF/plugin.properties file, add the following line:

basic-authentication=org.blojsom.plugin.security.BasicAuthenticationPlugin

You may then add "basic-authentication" to one of the flavor-based plugin chains. These plugin chains can be found in the individual user's plugin.properties file. It should be placed at the beginning of the plugin chain to ensure authorization is checked immediately. For example:

html.blojsom-plugin-chain=basic-authentication, meta, ...

Be sure to enable the plugin at the beginning of plugin chain for each flavor you want to protect under authentication.

The authorized users allowed to access the blog are those users you setup for the web administration console.
