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 /WEB-INF/classes/blojsom-plugins.xml file, add the following:

<bean id="basic-authentication" class="org.blojsom.plugin.security.BasicAuthenticationPlugin" init-method="init"
          destroy-method="destroy">
        <property name="servletConfig">
            <ref bean="servletConfigFactoryBean"/>
        </property>
        <property name="authorizationProvider">
            <ref bean="authorizationProvider"/>
        </property>
        <property name="resourceManager">
            <ref bean="resourceManager"/>
        </property>
    </bean>

You may then add "basic-authentication" to one of the flavor-based plugin chains. It should be placed at the beginning of the plugin chain to ensure authorization is checked immediately.
