QUESTION
I'm currently working on a small project where I need to create login and register functionalities for a web application. A colleague of mine had the opinion, that a login request should be done with a post request where the user credentials are stored in the body of the request. I was used to do login requests with a Get-Request where the login credentials are stored in the authentication header (e.g. with Basic-Authentication). So I've read some threads and most of them say, that a POST-Request is better than a GET-Request for login. But also some threads said, that it is better to store user credentials in a request header instead of the body. In case the credentials are stored in the header I don't understand why a GET-Request should be better than a POST-Request.
So I was wondering what you think. What are the benefits/disadvantages of Login with POST-Request and User Credentials stored in the Request-Body compared to storing them in the header via Base-Authentication (encrypted with Base64).
Thanks for any opinions.
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Jun-11 at 03:13A POST is preferable for login request, because the authentication information will be sent in the HTTP messages body rather than the URL. Although it will still be sent plain text, unless you're encrypting via HTTPS.
GET method data is sent to the server followed by the URL which will be seen to everyone.
Both GET and POST method are used to transfer data from client to server in HTTP protocol but main difference between POST and GET method is that GET carries request parameter appended in URL string, while POST carries request parameter in message body which makes it more secure way of transferring data from client to server in HTTP protocol.
QUESTION
I am currently doing an assignment for a class that requires me to develop a Maven project on eclipse that utilizes Dropwizard Authentication and Jersey HTTP. I looked everywhere on the internet for a solution, including stackoverflow. When I run the server on my local machine, it seems to run fine. But when I do the simple health check on http://localhost:8080/status, it gives me this error message.

you need to add the path as follows:

Currently, I have two APIs: /auth

.
I would like ONLY one of them to use basic-auth.
I am using fastify-basic-auth

/auth
should require authentication.
/no-auth
should NOT require authentication.
Currently, the way my code is set up, BOTH are requiring authentication.

QUESTION
We are forced to use NancyFX, either 1.4.4 or 2.0.0. We are using .NET Framework 4.7.2 and Visual Studio 2019. The solution is self-hosted in OWIN and runs on Windows Server 2012 R2 or 2016.
The current source code uses Nancy.Authentication.Basic.1.4.1, and we are being forced to replace it with our own custom authentication (to bypass browser HTTP 401 handling, for example) that retrieves a custom security token from an external system after either a user enters their credentials on our new custom login View or an external app calls our API with their creds.
I have read various posts on the internet about stateless and token authentication in Nancy, and OWIN JWT, and also these SO posts:
- Stateless authentication with NancyFx, OWIN and JWT
- How to skip Basic Authentication on certain conditions in self-hosted server?
I have also downloaded samples, but nothing seems to work right or easily.
The current code has this in the CustomBootstrapper:
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Apr-17 at 00:49I created a BaseViewerModule that inherits from NancyModule and changed all my modules to inherit the base. I then added a check to see if the user's request includes a security token, and if not, displays a login form, calls my authentication server, stores a UserIdentity in the cache with the security token as the key, and returns the token back to the requested module.
I then added a hook into pipelines.BeforeRequest to check for the existence of the item in the cache and set the CurrentUser to it if found.

QUESTION

...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Apr-08 at 11:49Assuming that the deployment-poll
has to run only once, you can use the init-containers to run the bash script. The container will perform its job and exit and the pod will not restart.
In your case its restarting because the kubernetes tries to maintain the state of deployment which in your case requires both the containers to be running at all time. But you want the second container to perform its job and exit.
QUESTION
I'm aware of the following questions:
Safari: "Blocked https://... from asking for credentials because it is a cross-origin request." after updating to Angular 8
How to use Angular behind Basic Auth protection?
Safari blocks URL from asking for credentials because it's a cross-origin request
But I've not been able to solve my issue.
The use caseI have some CSS and JS files that cannot be made openly public and therefore are protected by Basic Authentication. These files are located in a different origin (Let's say under Basic Auth-protected https://mycdn.com/
) from where they're requested (Let's say https://myapp.com/
).
When I try to render a simple HTML page at https://myapp.com
that includes these files from https://mycdn.com/
I expect to be prompted for Basic Auth-credentials and for the browser to parse and execute them correctly.
Latest Chromium-like and Firefox browsers behave as I expect, if my page is behind Basic Auth, then they prompt me for the app's site credentials and then they prompt me a second time for the "CDN" credentials (Not the most convenient thing UX-wise, but it serves the purpose). After that the page renders without issues.
SafariSafari, (either desktop [14.0.3] or mobile [iOS 14]) on the other hand, behaves different. If my page is behind Basic Auth, it prompts me for credentials and starts rendering its contents, but when the engine reaches my files, it does NOT prompt me for credentials and it logs some error messages in the console stating a 401 Unauthorized
HTTP error occurred and depending on the script, the console will also contain an error saying:
ANSWER
Answered 2021-Apr-05 at 18:42Per https://trac.webkit.org/changeset/228486/webkit/, the Safari behavior described in the question is intentional. Specifically, Safari blocks cross-origin requests for page subresources, and logs this:
Blocked from asking for credentials because it is a cross-origin request.
The https://trac.webkit.org/changeset/228486/webkit/ commit message gives this rationale:
Prompts for credentials to load cross-origin subresources are typically seen as unexpected by a person that navigates to- or interacts with- a web page. The cross-origin and implicit loading nature of these subresources makes asking for credentials questionable because they are not being served by the same origin of the page a person explicitly loaded and are not guaranteed to correspond to an explicit user interaction other than the initial load of the page. We know that subresources that ask for credentials can be abused as part of a phishing attack. It seems reasonable to disallow cross-origin subresources from asking for credentials due to their questionable nature and the risk for abuse.
That commit message, written in 2018, also makes this claim:
This will also make the behavior of WebKit match the behavior of Chrome.
But while it’s possible that in 2018 Chrome may have also blocked subresources from prompting for credentials, it’s not true for Chrome 89. However, it does seems to be true for Chrome 91. So it may be that Chrome is in the process of changing its behavior to do the same blocking Safari does.
So I think the bottom line is: It isn’t possible to make Safari prompt for credentials for subresources, and it’s also not safe to build web applications on the assumption that prompting for credentials for subresources will continue to work in Chrome (nor in Firefox either, over the long term).

I want to put in production my website developped in NodeJs (express) and VueJs (2.6.11).
My Folder look like that :
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Apr-01 at 10:10As per the documentation
When using history mode, the URL will look "normal," e.g. http://oursite.com/user/id. Beautiful!
Here comes a problem, though: Since our app is a single page client side app, without a proper server configuration, the users will get a 404 error if they access http://oursite.com/user/id directly in their browser. Now that's ugly.
Not to worry: To fix the issue, all you need to do is add a simple catch-all fallback route to your server. If the URL doesn't match any static assets, it should serve the same index.html page that your app lives in. Beautiful, again!
To fix this
For Node.js/Express, consider using connect-history-api-fallback middleware.
