Laravel 5 基本身份验证

Question

I am dealing with a situation which is causes me a lot of confusion. My boss has a web server setup with very simple HTTP auth ( which pop-up a login panel asking for username and password ) after the login you have access to number of application which is running behind the web server.

The application I am developing ( using laravel & angular) supposed to function the same way. I have a database running behind laravel, but doesn't have users table. The users table is coupled with web server (Apache) which validates the user with his password before getting anywhere. The question is: How I might go about getting the user into the Laravel environment (validated)? Do I need to use LDAP instead of eloquent for the validation? or is there any other way to do this?

Answer 1

The only idea I have is to make redirect via apache after user was authenticated. Try to play around with this example:

<Location /auth/basic>
  AuthType Basic
  AuthName "Restricted Zone"
  AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/conf/user.pwd
  Require valid-user

  RewriteCond %{LA-U:REMOTE_USER} !^$
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://your-project-domain.com/zone?user=%{LA-U:REMOTE_USER}   [P,L]
</Location>

It will set a basic auth protected location /auth/basic that will redirect user to a specified location if authentication was successful, while saving username in GET variable.
