FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
  • Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Informations about the package laravel-external-basic-auth

Laravel External Basic Auth

Packagist Version

This is a guard for Laravel that assumes the value in $_SERVER['REMOTE_USER'] is the identifier for the currently logged in user.

Laravel's built-in basic auth still auths the username and passwords against the users table, which in our case will not contain their password.

Usage

composer require rickselby/laravel-external-basic-auth

Then, edit your config/auth.php file, and under guards, set the appropriate driver to external; e.g.

'guards' => [
    'web' => [
        'driver' => 'external',
        'provider' => 'users',
    ],
],

Alternate lookup field

By default, the package will match the $_SERVER['REMOTE_USER'] value against the id of the user model. If the $_SERVER['REMOTE_USER'] value is in a different field (e.g. the user model has a standard auto-incrementable integer for an ID, and a separate username field) then the package can look up a user by this field instead.

Edit your config/auth.php file, and under the appropriate guard, add a field setting:

'guards' => [
    'web' => [
        'driver' => 'external',
        'provider' => 'users',
        'field' => 'username',
    ],
],

Eager load relationships

It may be desirable to eager load relationships for the authenticated user.

Edit your config/auth.php file, and under the appropriate guard, add a load setting:

'guards' => [
    'web' => [
        'driver' => 'external',
        'provider' => 'users',
        'load' => [
            'permissions',
            'roles',
        ],
    ],
],

Looking for REMOTE_USER in headers

If your app is running in a docker container, or some other situation where your app is separated from the authentication, it may be desirable to pass the REMOTE_USER to the app by headers.

Edit your config/auth.php file, and under the appropriate guard, add a header setting:

'guards' => [
    'web' => [
        'driver' => 'external',
        'provider' => 'users',
        'header' => 'X-forwarded-REMOTE_USER',
    ],
],

Stripping a string from the user identifier

If your authentication field has a part you do not wish to use (e.g. [email protected]), this can be stripped:

'guards' => [
    'web' => [
        'driver' => 'external',
        'provider' => 'users',
        'strip' => '@domain.com',
    ],
],
